I'll confirm the problem. I was doing automatic updates and was updating to Ubuntu 8. I have nothing but squares/rectangles where the text should be. When I type in firefox or the terminal (only able to start by looking at the icon) the fonts are fine. All dialog boxes, including any config boxes show only squares. I am not linux-savy enough to know what the squares should say. I also have not found any solution on the net.
