"°C" font is not antialiased in weather applet and clock applet, I have tried to change font from gnome-appearance-properties but "°C" is not changed at all. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=115543&action=view http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=115544&action=view I already reported it to upstream but maintainer told me that I should install liberation-fonts for getting it antialiased: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=545441 The problem is that, even after installing and using liberation fonts I still get the non-antialiased simbol I have also sent it to forums: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-706240-highlight-.html but I still have the same problem on all machines I have tried (four machines), I have checked that it works ok in opensuse # eselect fontconfig list shows me the following: Available fontconfig .conf files ( * is enabled ): [1] 10-autohint.conf [2] 10-no-sub-pixel.conf [3] 10-sub-pixel-bgr.conf [4] 10-sub-pixel-rgb.conf [5] 10-sub-pixel-vbgr.conf [6] 10-sub-pixel-vrgb.conf [7] 10-unhinted.conf [8] 20-fix-globaladvance.conf * [9] 20-unhint-small-vera.conf * [10] 25-unhint-nonlatin.conf [11] 30-metric-aliases.conf * [12] 30-urw-aliases.conf * [13] 40-nonlatin.conf * [14] 45-latin.conf * [15] 49-sansserif.conf * [16] 50-user.conf * [17] 51-local.conf * [18] 60-latin.conf * [19] 60-liberation.conf * [20] 65-fonts-persian.conf * [21] 65-nonlatin.conf * [22] 69-unifont.conf * [23] 70-no-bitmaps.conf [24] 70-yes-bitmaps.conf [25] 80-delicious.conf * [26] 90-synthetic.conf * I have tried to use Sans and Liberation Sans for all gnome with no success.
