Thanks Dan,

I will try your ideas as soon as I get home.

As to some other details of my setup:

I have XF864.1, I guess I use the nv driver since I have a RIVA TNT2 M64.
(I do not use the binary only drivers from NVIDIA)

Other than that pretty much everything is stock Gentoo_RC5 from the iso.
(inluding QT, KDE, X and all the rest)

I have not compiled any one of them by myself. (Installed with --usepkg)
I got truetype fonts installed (the MS ones - arial times MS etc.)
I use the XftConfig which I found in the truetype directory.

I have set arial font in kcontrol for almost everything.

I let you know how the evironment troubles evolve...
