I seem to have traced my gnome-control-center problems back to some font
namely these fonts

Ariel.ttf
Arial_Italic.ttf
Ariel_Bold.ttf
Ariel_Bold_Italic.ttf
Verdana.ttf
Verdana_Italic.ttf
Verdana_Bold.ttf
Verdana_Bold_Italic.ttf

When I move thes out of ~/.fonts and run fc-cache gnome-control-center
works fine, when I return them the above problems return.

Can anyone think of how my font config setup could differ from anyone
elses ?

I have remove libxft2 libfontconf and reinstalled but the same problems
exist.

Thanks for the help
