  I'm not sure where to look.  I've recently started having font
problems when restarting my PC from hibernate-to-disk.  Here are the
symptoms...
* I hibernate my home desktop machine when not using it
* when I restart from hibernate, the following problems *SOMETIMES* occur
* existing GUI windows are OK
* launching new programs or dialogues (YES/NO, Apply/Cancel, etc) seems
  to have zero-size fonts
* shutting down X and restarting it solves the problem, but if I have to
  go through that, it's almost as cumbersome as "sudo /usr/sbin/poff"
  and booting fresh

  I'm attaching a partial screen-capture of an existing gnumeric
spreadsheet and a new one launched after waking up from hibernation.
The tracker.gnumeric spreadsheet that was opened before hibernation is
OK.  The Book1.gnumeric spreadsheet was opened after waking up from
hibernate.  Note the missing "File Edit View etc" text menus.  The
location and formula areas are very thin, compared to the same areas in
tracker.gnumeric.  This happens to Opera, AbiWord, etc.  I did this
partial screencapture with Gimp.  I left it open before hibernating.
The radiobuttons and icons were OK in the screencapture dialogue, but
the fonts were screwed up on the dialogue.  I managed to do the
screencapture from memory of which button was which.
