dist-upgrade broke fonts?

[Shyamal Prasad <shyamal.prasad@sbcglobal.net>]

Hi,

I did a update/dist-upgrade last night (after about four weeks) and
I'm left with a system with terrible looking fonts. GNOME and KDE both
seem to use a small, sans serif font, mozilla uses something similar,
and XEmacs menus are the same (and VM is broken in XEmacs with some
menubar related error). 

I'm pretty ignorant about fonts in X and will RTFM, but I'm hoping
some one knows about this already(?). 

I did notice that the my XF86Config-4 file no longer has a "Files"
section like an another Woody box that I have not upgraded recently,
but I can't remember if it ever did now. I'm running xfs, but I don't
see a port open (sorry, shoud there be one? Is xfs even important?
see, I *am* a font ignoramus).


The default font path reported in the XFree86.0.log file is

(WW) No FontPath specified.  Using compiled-in default.
(WW) The directory "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/" does not exist.
        Entry deleted from font path.
(==) FontPath set to "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Sp
eedo/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/X11R6
/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/"

Any clues about where to look when I get back from work this evening
would be appreciated!

Cheers!
Shyamal
