Package: xfonts
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

After a dist-upgrade, font rendering is borked in xorg. Sorry if it's 
not the good package, i have no idea what package this is related to. It 
breaks display of gnome application, kde application, firefox, 
thunderbird. IT seems java based applications are not affected, but 
unsure. 

The symptom are
Kde: fonts are not displayed at all, every menu entry is blank. However 
the shadow of fonts, where appliable, are displayed
gnome: fonts are partially displayed, they need various refreshing way 
to get them to display correctly
firefox: need to highlight the text to get it displayed. (A way like 
another to refresh it)
thunderbird: only the first 4 visible email entries are displayed, i 
have to scroll to go thru other mails.

xterm seems to display correctly (i using it to send this bug report)

I didn't touch the font, i just did a dist-upgrade and everything was 
broken
