[gentoo-user] font problems across apps

[Iain Buchanan]

Hi all,

I am having some strange font issues - first in Javas applets in
firefox, and now in evolution.

Every time I enter a tab in evolution, I see a small square box, and
then the tabspace.

In java I see these little square boxes all over java applets, which
pushes the text out of place and makes them look very messy.

I seem to be able to get around it by changing my font preferences
(gnome) for the "Fixed width font".  Just about any font has the little
boxes, except a few weired ones like "Blippo Heavy" and "Bodoni" and
such.

I would expect that a simple font like "Monospace" would be ok, but its
not...

I don't know where to start with this... any hints?
