Hi delphys
that's strange. so no letters display at all? and only thunar? other applications display fonts correctly? What about directory and file names. Same issue when running as live session?

Hi,

I've seen this once, also with Thunar, but can't remember how I fixed it - I think I didn't fix it, because this happened after a dist-upgrade, and when I rebooted it was okay.

A bit late but after the update you should also perform a d-u and maybe just a relog is sufficient to solve your problem.
