Fonts not visible for GTK applications

Bug Description

I was running Edgy and have recently upgraded to Feisty. This problem was in Edgy as well.

Fonts aren't rendered for any GTK apps in Kubuntu. I have tried with audacity and ardour as examples. openoffice.org shows up properly, but that could be due to the QT interface. The icons in openoffice.org aren't in proper colours, though. They're all against a green background.

I'll attach images to this BR.

This could possibly have happened after the font path change from /usr/share/X11/fonts to /usr/X11/share/fonts. However, changing the entries in xorg.conf didn't help.

There's nothing interesting in /var/log/X11.0.log

Amit , Try changing the default language to something other than English (India) (Go to System>Admistration>Language Support).This worked for me , it might for you as well.
