GTK fonts uglified after update

Hello All,

I just performed an emerge -Du world and found that the
fonts in the few
gtk apps that I use (gaim and wireshark) have now become
quite ugly.  I
followed the wiki at http://ge
ntoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Xorg_and_Fonts to
beautify a while back and the changes I made there have
remained intact
through the update.

In order to track down what caused the problem, and
hopefully figure out
how to fix this ugliness, I would like to get a list of the
packages most
recently emerged.  My emerge failed halfway through due to
bug 155170, so I
would probably need to be able to retrieve the packages
updated during my
last couple updates.  A link or a man page is fine, I'm just
not sure where
to look.  Of course, if anyone has any specific ideas or
thoughts about
what happened to the fonts during this update, I'd love to
hear that too.

Thanks,
Shaw

`genlop -l` (from the package app-portage/genlop)

Stroller.

Use genlop with the --list and --date arguments. --date lets
you specify
a start date and an optional end date for the list, e.g.

genlop --list --date yesterday
genlop --list --date "last sunday" "last
tuesday"

Are you running KDE with the gtk-qt theme engine?  If so, I
had a similar 
problem with fonts no longer being anti-aliased in gaim.  I
found the 
solution on this page:

http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=9714

Basically you need to change your General font setting in
the control center.  
Once you make a change (any change) you can change it back
to how you had it 
originally.  Once you restart your gtk applications the
fonts should be 
aliased again.  There is no explanation for why this works,
but it resolved 
the issue for me.

Hope that helps.

Wow, you're right, that fixed it!  But I'm using the Crystal
SVG theme.
I wonder what causes this nastiness?  I'll hunt around for
an appropriate
KDE mailing list and report it there.  

Thank you!
