Have you done anything in a custom ~/.fonts.conf ? – Jayson Rowe May 30 '13 at 17:28

if you could, share the results of the command: xrdb --query – Jayson Rowe May 30 '13 at 17:29

Sorry - it's xrdb -query - I added an extra dash. – Jayson Rowe May 30 '13 at 18:30

No problem, mistakes are human, here's what you need: *customization: -color Xft.antialias: 1 Xft.dpi: 96 Xft.hinting: 1 Xft.hintstyle: hintslight Xft.rgba: rgb – ShortCircuit May 30 '13 at 18:32

Thanks, that looks correct (Ubuntu Defaults). Let me do some more looking and see what I can figure out. – Jayson Rowe May 30 '13 at 19:08

The same problem had plagued me since my upgrade to 13.04 until I finally found this post:
Fonts corrupted, all look the same
A bug in pango-graphite is behind this.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pango-graphite/+bug/1176022
The following fixed it for me.
$ sudo apt-get purge libpango1.0-common pango-graphite
If you don't have libpango1.0-common installed it can be omitted from the command.
$ sudo apt-get purge pango-graphite

No. It just means you don't have libpango1.0-common installed. Omit that missing package from the command and just purge pango-graphite. – LinkP Jun 03 '13 at 13:40
