Stable Release Update (SRU) infos:
-Impact: Many Gnome users who have VRGB or VBGR hinting enabled will be hit with completely corrupted fonts in Qt apps

-Patch/

I have corrupted fonts in some programs like smplayer, ktorrent and amarok. I have a fresh install of Jaunty 9.04.
I've attached some screenshots of the problem.

Same thing on update of Jaunty (Kubuntu). Ok for several weeks until today. Not sure if today's apt-get upgrade did it or install of gtk-gnutella did it. Removal of gtk-gnutella and reboot did not help. Only on KDE apps. Non KDE apps are ok (firefox, tbird, oOO etc.) Was also adjusting the anti-alias settings in KDE today but put them back to default (system setting) before I noticed this (now KDE setting page has these bad "fonts" so can't check).
