I had some other issues after the upgrade, and removed my existing .gnome2, .gnome2_provate, .gnome, .gconf, . gconfd, .fontconfig and .metacity directories - this resulted in respectable looking fonts again... Now there is hopefully a less drastic way to proceed... may just removing .fontconfig may sort it? On the I've seen suggestions about changing DPI setting from 99->96 in Preferences->Appearance->Fonts->Details. Initially I tried this and things looked better. Cheers Mark Ah, thank's--i tried removing .fontconfig which didnt work. But then i looked at the Fonts -> Details, which i hadn t seen before, and its that it was up to 125 per inch! So i knocked this back down to 96 and it looks exactly the same as before. Thank you! All back to normal.
