Re: [STUMP] Weird font with StumpWM compiled from sources and Ubuntu 11.10

[David Bjergaard]

Hi,

I've compiled from source on Ubuntu 11.10 on two computers and haven't
seen this issue. Can you post a screenshot?  The only trouble I had with
LightDM was that it didn't recognize my xsessions but that is an issue
with LightDM, not StumpWM.
