Something must have just recently changed to cause this (yes, it's happening for me too). On Natty, I've been using the Ubuntu Beta Mono 17 font in Emacs and Terminal for months now, and it's been awesome, modulo the Emacs bug where it can't handle the '17' at the end of the font name. But anyway, although I've been consistently keeping my desktops updated, just today I did an update and all the fonts started looking terrible. I rebooted and now it looks like the font name has changed because both Terminal and Emacs couldn't find the UBM font. Okay, it looks like they're now called 'UbuntuBeta Mono'. So after changing this in Terminal's profile editor and in my elisp files, Terminal looks good but Emacs only has the italics font. The emacs23 package hasn't changed recently so something in the font must be triggering this problem.
