I had issues with really broken looking fonts at first. I mean *broken*.
Too thin... missing pixels... just a mess. (I did the same as you...
after installing Slack 10, I copied over my truetype font dirs from my
old install).

I really never got to the bottom of why it happened. I tried a lot of
twiddling in /etc/fonts/local.conf, etc. I don't really remember the
order of what I tried but, I suspect the font cache files from the old
install were the culprit all along.

If you haven't gotten it cleared up yet... I would try doing a "locate
fonts.cache-1" and then removing them to force a rebuild.

HTH,
Jonathan
