Bug Description
Binary package hint: git-core
All the text in git-gui has been blocky for some time now. I have no idea how this happened. I'm using the identical .gitconfig on two other machines, and I've had no trouble there. git-gui doesn't report any errors to the shell when started as `git gui &`. Screenshot attached

This is because the default version of tk is 8.4, which does not support antialiased fonts. If you want, you can alternatives --config wish
aptitude install tk8.5
update-
and select wish8.5.
(8.5 is currently the default in Debian experimental <http:// bugs.debian. org/515984>. Once that goes into unstable it will eventually make its way into Ubuntu.)
