I am baffled by a problem that I don't know who to blame for :) First, my box is debian sid, current yesterday. Second, my user's and my wife's gnomes, fortunately, work fine. Any new users I create don't have the same luck, and several miscelaneous users I've created over time don't, except those that do. I can see no patterns in permissions, group ownership, nor config files. The problem is this: once gnome-session starts, gtk2 apps (including gnome) don't display fonts. I'm sure they _think_ they display fonts, only very large ones mixed with extremely small ones. Boxes and dialogs are any width and height; I could get a screenshot if you think it'll help in any way other than a headache. The weird thing is, _before_ gnome-session starts the gtk2 apps work fine, including things like gnome-control-center. I can even have it running, if I start gnome-session, *bang* no more fonts. Please, could anyone sprinkle some insight on this? Give me any pointers?
