I've got a problem with gnome-terminal where the fonts are "squashing" together, particularly "m" and the "@" sign. I figured it was just my videocard or something. I did the Google thing and only came up with a post from 2002 with the same squashed font complaint. The fix was "we're working on it, next release it'll be fixed." I figure they've had enough time to work on it, no? ;) All the other fonts that came pre-installed had the same problem...some a little better, most worse :( I downloaded the microsoft fonts from http://avi.alkalay.net/software/msfonts/download/ and those seem to work better. I'm using andale mono now and the squishing is gone. Mind you, I don't use emacs and xterm looked fine to me, but maybe the problem is related in some way. > > --- Vladimir > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Vladimir G.
