Sound quite like my "No menus and weird field size" problem. If you could elaborate on the steps required to identify the problem font, I would post it to the lists. It may just be a coincidence, but I have observer weird font behavior on my system lately, with the Microsoft TTF fonts no longer being available although I tried reinstalling the msttcorefonts package. In the "pick a font" dialog in Gnome, many fonts are marked as "the selected font is not available". I can list them for you if you want.
