[Bug 1163323] Re: Ubuntu 15px "T" rendered as bold "S"

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

** Description changed:

  Ubuntu 12.10
  
- On one particular machine running Ubuntu 12.10, almost every normal-
- weight "T" in Ubuntu 15px at normal weight is rendered as a bold "S".
- For example, "Text" is rendered as "Sext".
+ On one particular machine running Ubuntu 12.10, some text characters are
+ substituted for different characters.
  
- The problem does not occur with any other font, size, weight, or
- character. Only the "T" in Ubuntu 15px at normal weight.
+ On April 2, almost every normal-weight "T" in Ubuntu 15px at normal weight was rendered as a bold "S". For example, "Text" was rendered as "Sext".

- This problem occurs in multiple applications, including Thunderbird,
- Tomboy, XChat, and Nautilus. It does not occur in LibreOffice (perhaps
- because it does not use GTK?), or in Ubuntu's menu bar (perhaps because
- it applies a bevel to the text?).
+ On April 3, that Ubuntu "T" returned to normal, but "k" in the font used
+ by Firefox when displaying Facebook wall posts was rendered as "d". For
+ example, "Mark" was rendered as "Mard".
+ 
+ On April 4, the "k" returned to normal, but "p" in a particular sans-serif bold size was rendered as non-bold "ƒʹ", while "0" in a different sans-serif size was rendered as bold "g".

+ 
+ The machine was restarted between April 2nd and 3rd, but only suspended
+ between 3rd and 4th.
+ 
+ This problem occurs in multiple applications, including Firefox,
+ Thunderbird, Tomboy, XChat, and Nautilus. It does not occur in

  Ubuntu 12.10

  On one particular machine running Ubuntu 12.10, some text characters
  are substituted for different characters.

  On April 2, almost every normal-weight "T" in Ubuntu 15px at normal weight was rendered as a bold "S". For example, "Text" was rendered as "Sext".

  On April 3, that Ubuntu "T" returned to normal, but "k" in the font
  used by Firefox when displaying Facebook wall posts was rendered as
  "d". For example, "Mark" was rendered as "Mard".

  On April 4, the "k" returned to normal, but "p" in a particular sans-serif bold size was rendered as non-bold "ƒʹ", while "0" in a different sans-serif size was rendered as bold "g".

  The machine was restarted between April 2nd and 3rd, but only
  suspended between 3rd and 4th.

  This problem occurs in multiple applications, including Firefox,
  Thunderbird, Tomboy, XChat, and Nautilus. It does not occur in
  LibreOffice (perhaps because it does not use GTK?), or in Ubuntu's
  menu bar (perhaps because it applies an inset to the text?).
