Two 12.04 machines have the same display settings but different results
- by durron597
I have one machine that has a relatively fresh install of 12.04 and one that I inherited. The terminal window in the inherited machine has a really weird font, and the regular one is what I would expect. Especially the behavior of the "m" character is messed up. Note: both of these machines are on the same KVM switch.
Here is what I've tried:
MyUnity on both machines seem the same
.bashrc on both machines seem similar in all the ways that would matter for this issue
The terminal profiles on both machines are the default
Here are the xrandr outputs:

Finally here are screenshots of both machines, it seems to really only be Terminal, I have askubuntu behind the terminal window for comparison:
Good screenshot:
Bad Screenshot:
Any thoughts as to what this might be?
