We are the developers of Plastic SCM, a full version control stack (not a Git variant). We work on the strongest branching and merging you can find, and a core that doesn't cringe with huge binaries and repos. We also develop the GUIs, mergetools and everything needed to give you the full version control stack.

Plastic SCM GUI text misalignment on Ubuntu

Wednesday, August 18, 2010 Miller Auker 0 Comments

Have you experienced that Plastic SCM GUI on Ubutnu 9.04-10.04 have
some windows with text that is misaligned, Well, it is a known Ubuntu bug that is related to the fonts mapping from
Microsoft Sans Serif to Thai font which is affecting the scaling
of the fonts. Illustrated in the figure below.



To resolve the issue, you will need to edit the font configuration file
/etc/fonts/conf.avail/89-ttf-thai-tlwg-synthetic.conf


Change the <string>Loma</string> to <string>DejaVu Sans</string> as indicated in figure below.



No need to restart the Ubuntu, the fix is instant, and the results are illustrated in the figure below.




The issue is discussed in the following link and a fix for future Ubuntu releases seems to be encouraged.
