Gnome display fonts have disappered
 

Hi,

I had a bit of corruption appear on the system disk for my Debian
testing system. The file systems all check fine now, but the Gnome
display shows no text fonts. Everything else is fine, I can login (it
doesn't show my username as I type), and as I mouse over the menu bars,
various tooltips light up as normal. I can lauch applications, but
everything is lacking the text labels and menus. Would anyone have an
idea how I might reinstall the Gnome system fonts or otherwise correct
or debug this issue?

Thanks a lot,

Lester

I believe that this is a setup issue but don't know how to solve it. Had it
with a friends laptop that I copied my system to. Ended up doing a clean
install and everything worked find. Did have to upgrade the intel X driver to
experimental to get the fonts right, they were partially cropped at some point.

Would love to know the cause of this though.

Try dpkg-query -l|grep fonts and then reinstall all the packages that
have 'font' in their name.
