My italics are displaying weirdly in a number of programs, including Firefox, Chrome and KDiff3. I have also been having another graphical issue. I am using 11.10 with the Gnome 3.2.1 shell and ttf-mscore-fonts 3.3ubuntu4. Does anyone know what the issue is?

My system settings are:

Driver: VESA: RV710

Experience: Standard

Video card: ATI Technologies Inc RV710 [Radeon HD 430]

  • Your problems seem to be with your video driver. What video card do you have and why are you using the vesa driver ?

    The real fix is to switch to the radeon driver. Is there a reason why you are forcing vesa?

You should try installing the catalyst driver, your card is listed as supported.

http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Hardware

sudo apt-get install fglrx fglrx-amdcccle
sudo aticonfig --initial -f

That second command should configure X , if you receive an error message, post it here.

Otherwise reboot.

  • Didn't work. I tried a few other things and actually stuffed my system up worse. I'm thinking the solution is reinstall. I've awarded you the bounty because your last link is a very good resource
