This is a shoot in the dark, but maybe you are experiencing some of the
side effects this FAQ is pointing out :-?

Q: After a dist-upgrade I lost my fonts. I have only a couple of fonts to
choose from and none of them are Helvetica that I use for my desktop and
the konsole font is also not as it used to be.
A: Chances is that fontconfig has been upgraded and the standard
local.conf has overwritten your version. The following fc-cache run has
then removed all cached bitmap fonts. In order to solve this problem,
edit /etc/fonts/local.conf and enable the bitmapped fonts by removing the
<!-- and --> comment markers below the sentence <!-- Uncomment below to
enable bitmapped fonts --> then, as root, rerun the command 'fc-cache -
fv' to recreate the font cache. Programs can now be restarted to use the
proper fonts.
