GTK font weirdness

[Blake Barnett]

Check your locale settings, make sure you are still using en_US, there
have been some big changes to the locales in Woody recently-ish.

Also, check that your X config hasn't changed with regards to your
fonts.  Are you using any true-type fonts? If so, make sure the freetype
module is being loaded.

A great place for this post would be the debian-user mailling list, it
has tons of traffic and it's more than likely that this has been
encountered before.
