[Bug 78209] Re: [feisty] Bad fonts with the latest Feisty upgrade

[Pedro Alejandro López-Valencia]

The problem, which can be described as wrong font anti-aliasing with
color-bleeding happened to me in a system upgraded from edgy to feisty.
Wiping the partition clean and installing yesterday's feisty daily
alternate snapshot created a fully woking desktop environment with
proper font anti-aliasing.

I've this hunch that fontconfig and fontconfig-config were not upgraded
cleanly but it could also be a problem with pango/cairo (yet, amarok
does not do pango, now does it?); it could also be that the X server
upgrade wasn't done cleanly and old libraries were not updated where
they should have.

If it were a fontconfig problem I could not see what could have gone
wrong apart from a bunch of files that were not removed from
/etc/fonts/conf.d and that were moved to /etc/fonts/conf.avail in the
newer fontconfig-config packaging. But having no symlinks to numbered
names, they are merely trashy files.
