Did KGS change its fonts?
Today when I logged on to KGS I got a really ugly font that wasn't there before. Were the fonts that KGS uses changed, or did I accidentally delete a font from my system?

Re: Did KGS change its fonts?
If you're running Ubuntu and recently upgraded to Lucid, then your Sun Java may have gotten replaced by some half-working POS. Screwed up fonts are one symptom.

Re: Did KGS change its fonts?
I am running Ubuntu, but I haven't upgraded to Lucid Lynx. However, I was trying to compile Pidgin from source last night, and so if you're not getting it I guess I somehow deleted a font, even though none of the packages I was touching should have had anything to do with it.

Re: Did KGS change its fonts?
No, I had the exact problem (among other things). I bet it's because your Java packages got changed during a recent update somehow even if you didn't upgrade to Lucid. There's a package "sun-java6-fonts" that contains the fonts you're missing.
What does the command "update-alternatives --list java" give you?

Re: Did KGS change its fonts?
I noticed that sun-java6-fonts was uninstalled, but I reinstalled it and I still have the bad font issue. The output of "update-alternatives --list java" is "/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java". I'm not sure if that really helps, all it seems to show for me is that I am still using Sun-Java. Plus, when I start up Cgoban, I get that little box that says "Sun Microsystems" in the lower-right corner, so I know I'm not using some other implementation of Java.

Re: Did KGS change its fonts?
Hmm, you got me stumped. Just for completeness, does "update-alternatives --list javaws" also show Sun Java?

Re: Did KGS change its fonts?
Yep. Oh well, I'll keep looking for the source of this problem. Thanks for your help.
