[SOLVED] Ugly fonts :/

Hi,
I dont know why did this happen. I'm a Gnome user and I wanted to take a look on KDE, so I've instaled KDEmod. I didn't have polish language charecters, so I wantet to change the font in KDE (using KDE Settings Tool) while I was switching through fonts and font's options - antialiasing, suddenly the fonts changed to ugly! I logged back to Gnome and its the same! I dont know what happened. When I delete the ~/.gconf I have the same problem, changing fonts in gnome-control-center doesnt help as all fonts there look ugly:

I've deleted the ~/.kde and even ~/.qt but its still the same. I have no idea what is responsible fot this? X11? Or maybe its some update error (I doubt it thou). Please help me as I am freaking out withi this fonts, I want me nice fonts back .

SOLUTION: rm -f ~/.fonts.conf

Try removing ~/.fontconfig (if there is one)

Re: [SOLVED] Ugly fonts :/

I've tried, but fc-cache -vf seems to rebuild the font cache, I've logged in to OpenBox and fonts in OB menu and in OB windows bars looks ok, but the one using gtk/qt no . I dont even know with which config files or setting should I mess with

I've also added a brand new user. I made him start gnome-session -> he has brilant fonts ! So its something in my home dir
