Hoary, Ugly fonts in some apps...

[Andrea Giuliano]

Dear all,

since I upgraded to Hoary, I get very big and bad looking fonts for
menus in some applications. In particular, emacs and dvdrip. I had to
change faces for menu items in emacs, but this is not the right way, I
guess. Also, I couldn't do the same thing in dvdrip, at least so far.

So I suspect is a font issue. Is there a font related package I should
install? I think I have most of them already, and you can see below the
output of "dpkg --list | grep -i font".

Any hint?

Best regards.
