Title:
  Screen fonts unreadable - light and small

Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  System: kubuntu natty 11.04, kde-4.7, all latest updates applied

  This began yesterday (03 Aug 2011) after the kernel/nvidia updates
  were applied. There are two problems:

  1. The fonts have become so light, that the screen is unreadable. The
  problem appears to be that the characters are being rendered too thin.
  I have to set the fonts to bold to make the screen useable at all.  I
  have tried changing font settings in systemsettings > application
  appearance > fonts, both size and font style.  I have also tried
  changing fonts -- the fonts do change, but the rendering problem
  remains. I have also tried forcing the dpi setting, does not solve the
  problem. The problem also exists in gtk applications like firefox, and
  changing the settings in systemsettings does not fix it.

  2. The fonts shrink in size. All steps mentioned in (1) tried.


  Restarting X server, rebooting, etc, don't solve the problem.
