I just installed 5.3R onto an old notebook that worked fine with FreeBSD 4.10stable, and the menu/system fonts in everything except xterm are unreadable under both KDE and Fluxbox. (It's worse under FluxBox, since KDE uses its own fonts for some things). For example, in FireFox and in Konqueror, the menu items, location bar, etc are all unreadable, but the page text of a page I view is OK, since it's not using "system" fonts. It is almost as if the computer is trying to use 1px high letters in the menus. Where should I look, even which man pages, for further details on sorting this. Also, can I fix it system wide, or will I have to tweak each and every application.
