  pretty much everything looks ok except of fonts in fvwm - window 
titles, menus, fonts in pager.

  The menu and window titles look like really badly resized bitmap 
fonts (before xorg 7 upgrade they looked ok)

  this is the font specified in fvwm config:

default: -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-12-*
menu:    -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-12-*

  the font in pager is too small for any font to appear good but I 
think it's somewhat worse than before

pager font: -*-times-medium-r-*-*-*-80-*-*-*-*-*-*

  tried these in xfontsel and they still look pretty bad even though 
they don't have exactly same look as in fvwm (and there's no 80 size for 
times, only 120)

  these look like pretty common fonts, not sure what happened, they are 
not missing, just ugly.

  btw what's deja-vu? I assume it's a font or set of fonts but 
apt-cache found nothing

  thanks,
