I started using Audacity on Ubuntu Dapper last fall and I had similar
experiences. The numbers were really numbers, not just 0, but they were
out of position and fuzzy looking. I had this experience with some
other applications that used gtk 1.2, so I assumed that is what it was.
In January I upgraded my Dapper machine to Edgy and the problem
remained. However, on another computer I installed a fresh version of
Feisty and the problem was resolved. I note the version on that machine
is 1.2.6. I don't need Audacity on my Etch computer, but I still have
it on my Edgy computer.
I launched it only to be told by Alacarte that the program was missing.
I have no idea how that happened, because I sure don't recall
uninstalling it. Anyway, I went into Synaptic on the Edgy computer and
reinstalled it. I am happy to report that the font issue has
disappeared. Strangely, the version on the Feisty computer is 1.2.6
(just installed a few days ago) and the version on the Edgy computer is
1.3.0-beta, installed just a few minutes ago. There was only one
version listed in Synaptic on the Edgy computer. Strange that the Edgy
repositories evidently have a newer version than the Feisty
repositories.
Anyway, check what version you have because a newer version might
resolve the font problems.
