Bug#320458: Problem still there.
Hey David,
There is in fact no xfs or xfs-xtt package installed on this machine but
that unix/:7100 entry was still lying around. I commented it out in my
xorg.conf just to make sure it wasn't upsetting things but the same font
problem persists.
Anything I can do to trace why these fonts are being picked for the
gtk1.2 apps / look so bad?
Stu.
