Hi,
I have additional information: The font is called Bitstream Vera Sans
Mono (VeraMono.ttf), it is a standard truetype font.
Because I now know the font name and filename, I am positive that the font
has not changed since I did the upgrades (the package it is in was not
upgraded), so the font itself is not the problem. Additionally, this
squishing is happening with several other fonts.
The font displays correctly in gnome-font-viewer, but does not display
correctly in the Gnome font preview dialogs (for example, gnome-terminal,
Edit > Current Profile > Font)... so it seems that various parts of Gnome
are using different font display subsystems, some of which are correct...
unless of course gnome-font-viewer is doing its own rendering.

Hi,
After upgrading to Gnome 2.14 I noticed that fonts are squished from the way
they were before. Here is an image showing the differences (sorry for the
poor quality of the "before" image, but I am just glad I have proof that
there IS a difference):

The difference is most noticeable in the l, k, i, and # characters. The font
here is called "Monospace", and it is one of the default fonts I got with
Ubuntu. Where the font is on disk, or what its filename are, I have no idea.
Fonts in Linux are a big mystery to me.. for example, why does the font show
up in the Gnome font dialogs, but not the Gnome font folder? Ahh well, don't
want to get sidetracked with silly details like that :)
Anyone know how to unsquish my fonts? Please mention certain filenames or
Ubuntu package names, if you can.
I apologize in advance if this is not a Gnome issue.. I asked for a while on
the various Gnome IRC channels, but got no responses, so I have no idea
whether this is a Gnome problem or not. If not, I still would appreciate any
help you can offer.
Thanks a lot,
Jeff
