I have what I think is a font problem. I have virtualbox-ose from the virtualbox site, that I compiled myself into a deb package following instructions that they provide. Today I looked at the vbox startup application (not one of my guest operating systems) and the text in the window looks really awful. I can remember it used to look really nice. Recently I downloaded netbeans-ide with aptitude. It works fine but I think it downloaded a lot of fonts for other languages. Is there any chance that those fonts being downloaded upset the font that vbox uses? The fonts look chunky and pixelated, like the way that sites used to look online before I downloaded msttcorefonts. (I'm not saying that my fonts online look bad. They look fine.) As a matter of fact I used vbox from the debian archive once and if I remember correctly the fonts looked bad then too. Does anyone know what has happened to my fonts on virtualbox? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
