As it is a general problem not restricted to Ubuntu or the nexus7, I
decided to create the Onboard 0.99.0~alpha1~tr1190 release instead of
patching the 0.99.0~alpha1~tr1188 release.

Here is the relevant part of the debian/changelog of the debianisation
for Ubuntu Raring:


onboard (0.99.0~alpha1~tr1190-0ubuntu1) raring; urgency=low

  * Fix Onboard becoming empty when system font dpi changes

You can find the files of the Onboard 0.99.0~alpha1~tr1190 debianisation
attached to this bug thread. You can ignore the Onboard
0.99.0~alpha1~tr1188 package, but I will not delete the corresponding
files, in case you would like to have a look at them.

Title:
  New upstream releases available for Onboard and virtkey

Status in “onboard” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi,

  A new version of Onboard has been released upstream. This is not the
  final 0.99.0 release; it is an alpha release to allow users to take
  advantage and to test among others the first adaptions done to Onboard
  for the nexus 7.

  This new version of Onboard requires virtkey version 0.63.0 that has
  been released in conjunction with Onboard 0.99.0~alpha1~tr1188.

  Moreover, I have updated the ubuntu-defaults-nexus7 package with the
  system-defaults file for nexus of Onboard 0.99.0~alpha1~tr1188.

  The debianisation for ubuntu raring of the three packages will be
  attached to this bug thread in short. Here the relevant parts of the
  debian/changelog of the three packages:
