That's GNOME, not "GNONE". Aaaaaaaaargh!
Setting the severity to "regression" is the normal way to report it. Don't use the subject line for that. Thanks for the report. (In reply to comment #5) > > Setting the severity to "regression" is the normal way to report it. Don't use > the subject line for that. Thanks for the report. I didn't even know that was there. Thanks! I'm not sure about the gdm and failsafe session cases, but I have determined that the problem only appears under KDE when "sub-pixel hinting" is turned on in the KDE Control Center. Needless to say, turning it off is a less than optimal workaround for LCD users. Attempting to change the summary accordingly... Probably related to bug #187688. Launching Firefox with "MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1 firefox" solves the problem for me. *** Bug 187688 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Maybe this should be assigned to pango (as was 187688), since this seems to affect only pango-enabled gtk2 apps. Reassigning pango bugs to Behdad. I doubt this is Pango. It looks like Gtk+ not loading font options if gnome-settings-daemon is not running. I don't know how that's supposed to work, but if firefox spawned by thunderbird works, it may be a race condition somewhere making gtk+ not seeing the settings as it tries to load them. Assigning to Gtk+. As for being a regression, that's probably because of moving from Xft to cairo. Fedora Core 5 is no longer maintained. Is this bug still present in Fedora 7 or Fedora 8? Fedora apologizes that these issues have not been resolved yet. We're sorry it's taken so long for your bug to be properly triaged and acted on. We appreciate the time you took to report this issue and want to make sure no important bugs slip through the cracks. If you're currently running a version of Fedora Core between 1 and 6, please note that Fedora no longer maintains these releases. We strongly encourage you to upgrade to a current Fedora release. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained and closing them. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LifeCycle/EOL If this bug is still open against Fedora Core 1 through 6, thirty days from now, it will be closed 'WONTFIX'. If you can reporduce this bug in the latest Fedora version, please change to the respective version. If you are unable to do this, please add a comment to this bug requesting the change. Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we are following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again. And if you'd like to join the bug triage team to help make things better, check out http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers This bug is open for a Fedora version that is no longer maintained and will not be fixed by Fedora. Therefore we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen thus bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
