You're the only one that thinks 2.1.92 is worse that 2.1 :-). I thought 2.1.92 was going to be a silver bullet for most of the reported font problems. I have heard reports of this problem, but every other user said the problem exists in 2.1 as well. I've read this whole thread, and I'd like feedback on what das mentioned (i.e. upgrade to -CURRENT from today and make sure it's still broken). Also, I'd like to see if what Dan Nelson suggested works (i.e. running fc-cache -v -f as root fixes it). If it's still broken, what LANG are you using? What fonts do you have installed? Can you setenv FC_DEBUG to 1023, then send me the output after running xclock?
