Could be a corrupt font cache, try removing it:

Code: Select all

rm -rf ~/.fontconfig/

Nah, most likely the problem is that you're using the legacy nvidia drivers. The drivers have this bug where anti-aliased fonts in KDE3/Qt3/Wine apps gets corrupted. This has been fixed in the latest legacy beta drivers (these drivers are also in Kubuntu 9.04 by the way). For now you add the following to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file as a workaround. You will want to add this to the device section of xorg.conf:

Code: Select all

Option "RenderAccel" "False"

Log out and restart X by pressing alt + e (Or selecting it from the menu). Once you log in the problem should be fixed.
