Hi everybody. I'm also running debian and since a dist-upgrade (mmmh about 4 weeks ago i think) i've got the same problem. That doesn't depend of the window manager neither the user (running amule with root, under kde gnome xfce4 or even with XFree86 alone does the same thing). I've also got these ugly fonts with xmms and some other applications, and it's really boring...
I realized that when amule is executed in a boot script (in a vnc server which has been started in a boot script too), and only like this, its fonts gets back beautiful ! I really don't understand

Does somebody knows about that ? thx
(& sorry for my bad english im french :p)
