Comment 10 for bug 671228

adoa: thanks for sticking with investigating this. The screenshot shows that *neither* of two fonts rendered is from the latest version of the Ubuntu Font Family; one is (0.009) and one is missing the version glyph which means it is (0.69).

The package 'ttf-ubuntu-font-family' is designed to Conflict: with older packages and therefore cause their removal. Please could you post the output of:

  COLUMNS=200 dpkg -l | awk '/ubuntu-.*font/{print $2,$3}'

so that we can get an idea of which out-of-date packages you have installed. As hinted on:

you may also have copies in ~/.fonts/ Please delete these too.
