Hi,

after system and ports upgrade I have problems with fonts in some apps - firefox, thunderbird, gthumb, liferea and so on. It is probably related to the underlying toolkit - gtk2?
The problem is that sometimes (not regularly) the app system fonts are not that expected ones but they are proportional and blurred - almost unreadable. Usually it helps to restart the app, sometimes more than once. I was searching the Internet, experimenting with xorg.conf and installed fonts, font cache etc. but got no results. With my previous installation I have had similar problems but really seldom not on regular basis as now.
I will appreciate any help it is really annoying
Thanks,
jan
