Font messed up?

Question

What have I done?!

Compare that to:

You'll see that there's a slight difference.

if you could, share the results of the command: xrdb --query — Jayson Rowe, May 30 '13 at 17:29

No problem, mistakes are human, here's what you need:
*customization: -color Xft.antialias: 1 Xft.dpi: 96 Xft.hinting: 1 Xft.hintstyle: hintslight Xft.rgba: rgb — ShortCircuit, May 30 '13 at 18:32
Thanks, that looks correct (Ubuntu Defaults). Let me do some more looking and see what I can figure out. — Jayson Rowe, May 30 '13 at 19:08
Wow.. they're really 2 different fonts. Didn't notice until now. — ShortCircuit, May 30 '13 at 19:43

The same problem had plagued me since my upgrade to 13.04 until I finally found this post:

A bug in pango-graphite is behind this.

The following fixed it for me.

$ sudo apt-get purge libpango1.0-common pango-graphite

If you don't have libpango1.0-common installed it can be omitted from the command.

$ sudo apt-get purge pango-graphite

No. It just means you don't have libpango1.0-common installed. Omit that missing package from the command and just purge pango-graphite. – LinkP Jun 03 '13 at 13:40
