What is wrong with that? BTW, before the upgrade, programs such as gnome-text-editor would get bad graphic glitches if set to use that font. Right now only Opera seems to handle it alright. Could it be a problem with my font file, or is it something else? Anyone with the same problem? My font's md5 is 72c75860d89e91a517dfb1e7d308c180 , came as cour.ttf on Windows XP. Anyone with the same checksum?
