font problems

Over the holidays I decided to upgrade my ports after
several months
and everything went well except some fonts seems to be
messed up.
Sorry, I'm not really sure how to explain this better.  Here
is a
screenshot of gkrellm: http://jrm
.ath.cx/misc/messed_up_fonts.png

As you can see, the fonts are so large they overlap.  I
didn't change
any of my configuration files (xorg.conf, ~/fonts.conf,
~/.gtkrc-2.0,
etc).  The problem seems to be isolated to gtk applications.
 Here is
the output from /var/log/xorg.log: http://jrm.ath.cx/m
isc/Xorg.0.log

It seems as though the usual fonts cannot be rendered so
some sort of
defaults are being used.  Thanks for any suggestions.

Joey

Hmm,
(==) RADEON(0): DPI set to (75, 75)
was it always 75? (I see a recent update to xf86-video-ati
port).
Anyway, try forcing X to use 96, ie, run it as:
X -dpi 96
(it would be ":0 local /usr/local/bin/X -dpi 96
:0" in
/usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers for xdm).


HTH,
Yuri

Thanks for the tip.  ..ran: startx -- -dpi 96 and the log
showed the
change, and the fonts looked crisper, but the problem with
the large
overlapping fonts persisted.  Any other suggestions or
thoughts about
where I should continue my search?

Thanks,

Joey
