Hi
I recently did apt-get dist-upgrade with debian and this upgraded Xorg (apparently a lot of people had problems with that upgrade). Now I just have very ugly font settings in all my browsers (firefox and galeon).
It seems to be always the same font, but not a font set by the website.
If I choose to that the websites can not set their own fonts, and I specify a specific font like sans serif, then my webpages are nicely displayed in sans serif.

But I want to use the fonts set by the website.

Anyone has an idea how to fix this (is this Xorg related?)

thanks alot

I had a similar, almost identical, problem some weeks ago; it was caused by myself (I think), when I installed some .ttf fonts downloaded manually from the web; I put them in the fonts dir and altered some config files for they didn't seem to come up where I wanted them to be, and all of a sudden my browser only displayed one very odd-looking font I was only intended to use as part of a graphics project, and I couldn't switch it in any other way than that you mentioned (manually specifying one font). Well, the simple solution for the problem was to download the basic font packages with apt-get and re-install them, then restart X (if I remember correctly) and that was it. Somehow my font settings got corrupted (though they seemed ok), and forcing a reinstallation of the basic font packs did the trick. Try it out..

thx.
which are the basic font packages? and how do you force a reinstall with apt?

thx alot
