Since you do not have the fontpackages rpm installed I don't see how this can be constructed as a fontpackages bug.

Please reopen against the right component when you've found out what your problem was.

If it fails for every app with every font this is most probably not a font problem but an xorg or fontconfig problem. In any way with so little info and without even a screenshot no one can really help you.

Comment 2 John Curcio 2008-12-20 01:10:29 UTC
Your attitude SUCKS! Rather than trying to assist me in further clarifying where the problem is you chose to simply close the issue and leave it entirely up to me to debug the issue. And since I told you that I had attached a screenshot, either you missed something or I didn't attach it properly ... rather that attempt to look further or maybe give someone the benefit of the doubt you instead chose to throw your hands in the air and be rude.

Thanks for your complete lack of assistance. I guess it's good thing you're not in a service industry!

Comment 3 Ben Laenen 2008-12-20 11:54:26 UTC
It looks like you didn't attach a screenshot. Please try again, because "bad rendering" can mean anything.
