Strange kerning in any terminal with Droid Sans font on Ubuntu 14.04

Terminal looks very strange when I set Droid Sans as a default font in: Terminator, lxterminal (clickable)

Terminator

lxterminal

I have ubuntu 14.14 and use Cinnamon 2.8.6

EDIT: Setting "Droid Sans Mono" in the terminal helped, but it's not a solution if you want to set non-monospace font, so the question still be opened.

Solution

  • "Droid Sans" is not a monospace font, so instead you should use "Droid Sans Mono".
