Hi all,

I solved the problem by myself.
/var/log/Xorg.0.log gives me the reason and the solution:

(WW) `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in "/usr/share/fonts/misc/".
        Entry deleted from font path.
        (Run 'mkfontdir' on "/usr/share/fonts/misc/").

So I run   mkfontdir /usr/share/fonts/misc
and made a restart and the problem was solved ;-)

best regards
Christoph
