    Question fontspacing problem in terminal etc after upgrade

    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.

    Sorry, same problem. I have nvidia graphics (proprietary driver) used, could it be this to blame in 13.04?

    Do you have gnome-tweak-tool or any similar tool installed? If so, have you tried checking the fonts settings?
