I had a feeling that my fonts in Ubuntu 10.10 are broken on my laptop. Your solution works greatly on my Ubuntu 10.10 . Thank YOU.

Thanks a lot for the info. Just that it stops working after u/g to 9.10. Some how it’s always set to lcddefault when checked with “xrdb -query”. Would be great if this can be fixed.

Thanks for your help, Martin. Your files worked for me with Ubuntu 9.04, but they don’t work in Ubuntu 9.10. I changed “lcdlegacy” to “lcdnone” in both files in Ubuntu 9.10, and now the font rendering seems to look like it did in Ubuntu 9.04 after I used your files.

Hi John, to copy the code to the clipboard click on “copy to clipboard”
Or, if this does not work, click “view plain” and copy the content from the popup window.

Thank you so much Martin for the past couple of days I have been straining my eyes trying to figure out how to fix my font. Everything was red green and blue. Ubuntu must have change something, or maybe it was my new Nvidia GTX 285 card. I’ve never had a problem like this before, fonts have always been super crisp on Ubuntu. Thanks a bunch.

Oh by the way I had a little trouble copying the code you had in this article. I had to go back and delete all the line numbers down the left side. You might want to change that especially if you post really long code on your site. It could be problematic in cases like that.
