I had the same problem a few weeks ago. I used KDE2 for a while, but
didn't care for it. I tried researching the problem, but came up with few
references. I then came across the Debian TrueType Mini-HOWTO, and
installed xfs and xfstt, and then fiddled with the FontPath setting if the
XF86Config file (following instructions in the mini-HOWTO). Needless to
say, whatever I did works. Gnome, GTK, and X apps are now readable.
Try xfs and xfstt, and the HOWTO can be found through a google search.
They are small packages, and setup takes 5-10 minutes. And let me know if
it works for you.
