Gwibber window doesn't open when the gnome applications' font has decimals

[Daniel Añez Scott]

Binary package hint: gwibber

the window doesn't open, but I can tell it's working because I can tweet via Me menu. Also, the "broadcast" arrow/checkbox is active in the messaging-menu.

 I attached the terminal output. The problem seems to be that I have set my application's font to 8.3, from what some people gathered from my terminal output.

Thanks for taking time to report this bug and helping to make ubuntu better. Can you please change your system fonts to an integer so that your fonts are not in decimals and try to start gwibber again

@Omer Akram works fine with whole integer fonts

Yes, it does work if i change the font, but it's not the ideal... I had set the applications' font to 8.3 because it's the way it looks better in my screen... But shouldn't it be prepared for a case like this? other apps don't have that problem.

This guy told me how to fix it on ubuntuforums:

I hope they could include that upstream...

Marking this as a duplicate of very same bug. Thanks
