The upgrade added a bunch of new font paths to xorg.conf. For every
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/foo entry you had, there is probably now an
additional /usr/share/fonts/X11/foo entry preceding it. I fixed most
of my uglyfont problems by commenting out /usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1.
It may be advisable to whack all of the old entries; I still am
getting some that fall back to misc/fixed.
