Comment 79 for bug 197163

I wanted to confirm that the font display bug was present in my machine, and that removing libQtCore.so.4 and libQtGui.so.4 solves almost all issues. That is, fonts are now rendering fine, but I still am getting a lot of "X Error of failed request: RenderBadPicture (invalid Picture parameter)" messages on my console - which I don't remember ever getting under Gutsy.
Of course, "mathematica 2>/dev/null" would be a way to prevent my console from becoming cluttered, but I suspect something is still not right with fonts display.
