Letters displaying as aquares.

[Poul Anker Gensmann <gensmann@pbk.dk>]

Hi.

After an apt-get upgrade (unstable) I have encountered an annoying problem
in X. Letters display like squares in eg. xchat and menus in xmms.
(I think that it may be related to gtk?)

I have searched the bug-archives and various newsgroups and mailing list,
but only found one solution: restart xfs and X.

Unfortunately this does not solve the problem. Please help!
