You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Georgewilliams has a font named "Monospace." This overrides the
monospace virtual font that is used in a number of places in the
desktop, including in gnome-terminal, gedit, and firefox. Worse, the
georgewilliams monospace font is somewhat ugly (it doesn't seem to work
well with subpixel font rendering, leaving very colorful boundaries and
hard-to-read text).

Is it possible to rename the font so that this doesn't happen? I'd like
to have the ttf-georgewilliams fonts installed, but I don't want to have
to change all the font settings in my apps to use DejaVu Sans Mono or
Bitstream Vera Sans Mono.
