After upgrade from 12.10 to 13.04 i get this weird fontproblem, no matter wich font i use (fonts in firefox/chrome looks good tough). Any ideas how to fix? Same problem if I create a new local user with a clean homedirectory

from nautilus, you should now only have .fontconfig folder, so i suppose the oldish .fonts.conf (or so, i does not remember how it was) is confusing the system. Simply delete or rename the old "fonts" setting file(s)

No that doesn't seem to be it. I have tried with a new user with (blank slate), same problem. This is OS related not user
You have obviously chosen a custom font as the tick box to use system font is not selected, even though I think it may be what the system normally uses anyway, but have you tried using a different font for the terminal?

Yes i have tried monospace, ubuntu mono etc. It isn't just the terminal font that has problems. Maybe a reinstall is the only solution
Hmm, looks like your terminal uses proportional sans serif font instead of monospaced one. Weird. What does fc-match Monospace show?
linus@linux8:~$ fc-match Monospace DejaVuSansMono.ttf: "DejaVu Sans Mono" "Book"
I presume DejaVu Sans Mono is present on your system. Try Code: dpkg -l ttf-dejavu\* ls /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu sudo fc-cache -r fc-match Monospace file Then re-login.
dpkg -l ttf-dejavu\* ls /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu sudo fc-cache -r fc-match Monospace file

Sorry, same problem. I have nvidia graphics (proprietary driver) used, could it be this to blame in 13.04? linus@linux8:~$ dpkg -l ttf-dejavu\* Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Architecture Description +++-=============================-===================-===================-================================================== ============== ii ttf-dejavu 2.33-3ubuntu2 all Metapackage to pull in ttf-dejavu-core and ttf-dejavu-extra ii ttf-dejavu-core 2.33-3ubuntu2 all Vera font family derivate with additional characters ii ttf-dejavu-extra 2.33-3ubuntu2 all Vera font family derivate with additional characters linus@linux8:~$ ls /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu DejaVuSans-BoldOblique.ttf DejaVuSans-ExtraLight.ttf DejaVuSans.ttf DejaVuSerifCondensed.ttf DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf DejaVuSansMono-BoldOblique.ttf DejaVuSerif-BoldItalic.ttf DejaVuSerif-Italic.ttf DejaVuSansCondensed-BoldOblique.ttf DejaVuSansMono-Bold.ttf DejaVuSerif-Bold.ttf DejaVuSerif.ttf DejaVuSansCondensed-Bold.ttf DejaVuSansMono-Oblique.ttf DejaVuSerifCondensed-BoldItalic.ttf DejaVuSansCondensed-Oblique.ttf DejaVuSansMono.ttf DejaVuSerifCondensed-Bold.ttf DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf DejaVuSans-Oblique.ttf DejaVuSerifCondensed-Italic.ttf linus@linux8:~$ sudo fc-cache -r linus@linux8:~$ fc-match Monospace file :file=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSansMono.ttf
Do you have gnome-tweak-tool or any similar tool installed? If so, have you tried checking the fonts settings?
