Letter-spacing in gnome-terminal

After update to 13.04 have broken fonts in gnome terminal:

It is "Ubuntu Mono 13" font, but same spacing problems occurs with any monospace font. What can I do?

Solution 1:

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

Fonts corrupted, all look the same

I used Syanptic to determine the unidentified library. The following worked for me.

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

Solution 2:

After many hours of searching

$ sudo apt-get purge pango-graphite

worked for me. This was broken on a dist upgrade to 14.10, and since I spend 90+% of my time in mate-terminal or gnome-terminal this was truly driving me crazy.

Thanks!

Solution 3:

This is some issue in one of the Graphite libraries. See bug #1166125.
