Terminal fonts not rendered properly
Hi,
I am having trouble with my terminal not being able to display fonts correctly. My entire system uses the Cantarell font correctly, but somehow the terminal is having trouble displaying it.
Here is a screenshot (in case you cant see image below, please check http://imgur.com/hZ4dOxl)
If you see, the @localhost is overlapping and not visible correctly. The font is installed correctly and works fine elsewhere in the system.
Thanks !

Re: Terminal fonts not rendered properly
no they are ok, but Cantarell is not a monospace font:

Re: Terminal fonts not rendered properly
Thank you for your reply. But as far as I know, the GNOME's default font is Cantarell and the Gnome Terminal seems to use the Cantarell font pretty well. Am I missing anything or is that a different font in GNOME 3 ?
In short, I really liked the terminal fonts in GNOME 3 and was thinking if I can have something similar on my XFCE as well.
Thank you !!

Not sure about the gnome terminal, but according to this screenshot: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME_Ter … l_3.12.png I think its using either Monospace or DejaVu Sans Mono.

Re: Terminal fonts not rendered properly
Yes, you are right, it does seem like Monospace. I tried it on my terminal and there are spacing issues, so the terminal looks good. Thank you for the help.
I am not sure how to mark this as "Solved". I checked the post here on how to mark it, but I don't see a button "Mark as solved". So if the admins can mark it as solved, please go ahead and do so.
Thank you everyone !!
