GNOME Terminal ignores font rendering settings
May 5th, 2008
In the latest Ubuntu release, Hardy Heron, a bug in the GNOME Terminal causes the program to ignore the system's font rendering settings and instead uses its own.
I don't really know how to fix this in a proper manner, but I found something which is rather a work around on this problem, than a real solution.
You should try the following:
The above command takes the 10-no-sub-pixel.conf out of the game. I prefer to rename the file than completely remove it, in case I want to get it back when the bug is fixed.
Restart your X Windows and try to open GNOME Terminal, which should be using your system-wide settings this time.
