Seamonkey 2.13 renders fonts bad in headers

[korrado]

All versions (all betas and release) renders some letters in Russian fonts bad in headers (big and bold).

Ubuntu Linux 12.10 Quantal
MATE 1.4.

Firefox 16.0 renders bad too. And both (i see now) renders and Latin letters with mistakes.

SeaMonkey left, IE8 right, Opera (from above screenshot) below.
Win XP.

Some sort of browser sniffing, I wonder? The thing I find interesting in the images is that the headline is different in Opera than it is in IE and Firefox/SM. If you look carefully, SM and IE have "compress.php, kotopyj ob'jedinit" and Opera has "compress.php. Ob'jedinit". (Transliterated) And for me -- using SM trunk nightly 2.16a1, IE8 and Opera 12.02 -- they all read ""compress.php, kotopyj ob'jedinit"".

It's OK now

Is it possible that your default sans serif font is broken? What happens if you select a different font in Edit | Preferences | Appearance | Fonts to be your default sans serif font?

I looks good to me on my machine

replace broken fonts and then
Try rebuilding font cache http://www.ehow.com/how_7197467_rebuild-font-cache.html

1) I find diffirences
It's only checkbox "Allow documents to use other fonts"

http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/6520/122 ... 74346_orig

http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/6423/122 ... 6eabd_orig

2) I reinstall all fonts from page with Seamonkey font settings and rebuilt font cache by
"fc-cache -f -v"
but all remain without changes.
May be it is Ubuntu (12.10) or MATE error?

3) O-o. I will try it on other DE now...

4) Yes. In Openbox where are OK in both cases ( checkbox "Allow documents to use other fonts").
MATE generates this error probably

5) I find what MATE builds packages for 12.10
http://wiki.mate-desktop.org/download?&#ubuntu_quantal_quetzal_1210_repository
and install it, but errors stays.

My guess would be that the Ubuntu font is broken. This may help, http://askubuntu.com/questions/136835/broken-fonts-problem-with-ubuntu-11-10.

Mate DE i believe is not yet a mature desktop.
Please use a more stable DE like cinnamon to get a GNOME 2.x look on GNOME 3.X environment which is available on many distros
You can find Cinnamon screenshots from openSUSE here
