Obviously, I have compared on the same system: Kubuntu-9.10, i.e. with same font! only the source of Emacs changed! between 20091114 and 20091117. Indeed reinstalling the previous build, 20091114, it looks better than current 20091117. The build I did on 20091114 looks like other KDE applications using the same font (Konsole, for example). On Kubuntu-8.04.3 the build of 20091117 fails as described, so I cannot compare anything. Cheers, Angelo.
