Comment 35 for bug 197163

In addition to the font issue I have another (related?) problem with the graphics in Mathematica 6.0 with hardy.
The Frame labels in the graphics display are garbled (see attached figure). This used to be fine in Gutsy, also when I open an old notebook in hardy the figure is displayed properly (the figure was generated in Gutsy) till I select the graphics object, at which point the font gets garbled. Also -defaultvisual option has no effect on this behavior. This bug was reproduced both on Ubuntu and Kubuntu (KDE 3.5). With KDE 4, mathematica was showing fonts in the same color as the background which could be rectified with the -defaultvisual option but the graphics font problem persisted.

I confirm anu's post. I also have this problem with framelabel on the y axis.

Also, I have the antialias problem as well. My mathematica can start in compize without problem except it starts with two more empty windows.
