	GTK1.x use the tradicional X fonts system
	GTK2.X use a new font system

	a font might be installed in the new system, but not installed
	in the old X font system... this is your problem...
	KDE also use the new system

	nope, if a font show there, its installed and will show with
	any problem as any aplication
	its just really a program that calls X font system and asks
	for all fonts

	so try it, check the bitstream vera fonts, they are good
	fonts and should exist in all distros today
	se if they look the same in xfontsel in both systems...

	restart the xfs also

	try to compare the output of some fonts in xfontsel
	in both systems
 
> X on both machines are now using strictly xfs for fonts.

	also try in both systems with a new temporary user
	and see if you get the same results...
	try to use the same desktop manager/window manager
	for both also

	also, try 
xset fp default
xset fp rehash
	and test it again... if the "good" machine start
	outputting bad fonts also, its KDE that its adding
	a font path that isnt in the default

	KDE installs some fonts also in $HOME/.kde/share/fonts
	or something like this, check if you dont have some
	extra fonts in there in the good machine

	finally, are you using the same debian "version" on both
	machines? not woody and sid, right 8)

> I think I'll just give up using Dillo for now... it hurts the eyes too much.

	also try in a debian mailling list

	good luck

Naturally the common people don't want war... but after all it is the
leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a 
simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or
a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.
Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of
the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are 
being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and
exposing the country to danger.  It works the same in every country.
