Weird rendering of Arial font
Hi everyone. I'm using Opera 11.52 on Kubuntu 11.10. Fonts (Arial's the one I'm having the most problems with) look like in the screenshot. Has anybody experienced this? Anybody know how to fix it? Arial renders fine in everything else (Firefox, Rekonq, misc text programs).opera -debugfont
is at http://pastebin.com/qW1VX8ts
The problem persists even with a fresh profile, http://i.imgur.com/LllXx.png
Even in the Fonts settings dialog, it's still broken: http://i.imgur.com/u0jA3.png
fc-match arial
gives
arial.ttf: "Arial" "Normal"
Actually this bit of you debug font output interesting:
A quick search for that font leads me to:

Something funny about the way that font is reporting itself. If the license allows it could you provide me with a copy of that file.

Which font providing packages do you have installed? The following should provide you with a list:
fc-list : file | sed -e "s,: $,," | xargs dpkg -S | sed -e "s,: .*,," | sort -u

I think this might be it. Will do investigating after I get home.
Edit: Awesomeness! Just deleted that font and everything works it should. Thanks!
