For me, the recent fontconfig package in testing has changed the way bold fonts are rendered. I have downgraded fontconfig manually since I couldn't find a way to fix this. With 2.11.94: http://msujith.org/dir/img/before-fontconfig-update.png With 2.11.95: http://msujith.org/dir/img/after-fontconfig-update.png I use the Greybird theme for gtk2 applications and it seems to be okay. gtk-3.20 has changed theming and so all themes need to be updated. After gtk-3.20, Greybird broke and I had to remove it from gtk-3.0/settings.ini and use the default theme. https://blogs.gnome.org/mclasen/2015/11/20/a-gtk-update/ All of this hand-holding is just painful and sometimes I just want to compile Emacs with --with-x-toolkit=lucid and be done. :-) Sujith
