I'm running X.Org 1.7.7 on 9.2-RELEASE-p3 on amd64. I upgraded some ports today and have managed to break my fonts in X.Org. I'm usually cautious about installing newer versions of ports, but was in a rush to update ones that had security issues as I'm travelling on an early flight (not so very far away now) for work with my laptop and evidently wasn't paying enough attention. Live, be an idiot and hopefully learn for next time :\
The symptom is that instead of where the captions should be on my desktop I have rectangles. Opening up xterm, the console font is properly rendered, whilst the title bar is just rectangles. xclock opens and renders fine, so it's definitely a fonts issue. I scanned /usr/ports/UPDATING (after the disaster) but can't see anything relevant. SLiM is my login manager. I use XFCE as my desktop (and window) manager, though I have the same symptoms running OpenBox, which tells me it's something to do with X.Org rather than my window manager. There are no errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log and my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file has the correct paths for fonts. All was working fine beforehand. I expect that I'm being an idiot.

Any help on where to go next would be greatly appreciated.

I have tried:
- Logging in as root (to see whether the issue was with my user configuration)
- Recompiling all my installed fonts
- Recompiling X.Org
- Recompiling Pango (having found a reference to that being an issue on a Slackware forum)
- Recompiling GTK2 and GTK3
- Running
pkg_libchk
(from sysutils/bsdadminscripts); no missing libraries - Rebooting
- Selecting a different font from the XFCE settings panel
- Updating all possibly related installed ports, just in case I had missed something
- Cursing and waving my arms about.
Any help on where to go next would be greatly appreciated.
