Fixing Fonts on Ubuntu Edgy/Feisty Upgrade

A while ago, I upgraded all my Ubuntu installs to Edgy. My laptop still seemed fine, but the fonts on my other machines (work, desktop) were messed up. I searched for a bit, and then just gave up and dealt with it. I upgraded recently to Feisty, and it didn’t fix the problem, so I searched the web some more. Finally, I was able to find the solution, so hopefully by posting it here, other people will be able to find it quickly. Good title, and Google pagerank. :)

The solution is to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change:

Section “Files”
    FontPath “/usr/share/X11/fonts/misc”
    FontPath “/usr/share/X11/fonts/cyrillic”
    FontPath “/usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled”
    FontPath “/usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled”
    FontPath “/usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1″
    FontPath “/usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi”
    FontPath “/usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi”
    # path to defoma fonts
    FontPath “/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType”
EndSection

into

Section “Files”
    FontPath “/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc”
    FontPath “/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic”
    FontPath “/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled”
    FontPath “/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled”
    FontPath “/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1″
    FontPath “/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi”
    FontPath “/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi”
    # path to defoma fonts
    FontPath “/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType”
EndSection

The order of “X11″ and “fonts” in the paths has changed. That’s it!

More Baseball

Went to the Dodger game again yesterday, a 7-5 loss to the Pirates. Fun game. Took some more pictures.
Gallery | flickr. I’m finally starting to actually learn to use Photoshop to process images and make them look better. I’m sure I’ll have more images added to this set later this week.

Jackie Robinson Day

I went to the Dodgers/Padres game with Ryan and Wil last night. It was the 60th anniversary of Jackie Robinson’s first game in Major League Baseball. The pregame ceremonies were very well done, and it was overall a great tribute. Mike Cameron of the Padres, and the whole Dodger team wore Robinson’s retired number 42.

The Dodgers won 9-3. I have pictures up in my gallery or a flickr set.
