Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-terminal
Gnome terminal starts but rather small, and no characters are shown.
When I type xterm -fn r16 an xterm starts with the correct fonts, but the command doesn't show up in the terminal
TJ: To correct it, use this command by doing Alt+F2 (or a terminal if you can see to type) and do:
$ gconftool --type float --set /desktop/
Same problem here. This happened after an update for gutsy on Sept 17, 2007 around 7pm est. I update daily so the issue is related to an update released within 24 hours of this. Other users have reported the same problem at this thread: http:// ubuntuforums. org/showthread. php?t=553280
I have also experienced rendering problems in Kate and the sub-pixel smoothing details tab of the "screen and Graphics" tool. I'm attaching a screenshot with examples.
I am running a Thinkpad T60 with intel 945 graphics:
