The font kerning on the Gnome Terminal is broken

After upgrading to 16.04, my terminal looks like this: enter image description here

The font is the default one. How can I debug/fix this


The Terminal font seems to be set to a non-monospace font.

The solution is to set the Terminal font to Ubuntu Mono (default Terminal font — or any monospace font you like).

In the Terminal, go to EditProfile Preferences:

Terminal profile preferences

Check the Custom font checkbox and click on the big button next to the checkbox and choose Ubuntu Mono regular:

Select font

then click Select. You should be fine.


Use this commmand:

sudo apt install --reinstall ttf-ubuntu-font-family
