Comment 10 for bug 550910

No different languages, but I have changed the theme now and then.

The theme is now Ambient, and the font, sans.

However, since a brand new user also experiences the problem, it has
to be something in the system-wide configuration

Are there launcher settings in gconf-editor that could affect this?

If you look at the screenshot, it's almost as if the letters are
there, but super boldfaced, and perhaps cropped at the letter
boundaries.

No other applications appear to be affected however.

Perhaps this is unrelated, but i'll mention it in case...

I have also noticed that you can't add widgets to the default panel In
the 3d launcher. Works fine inthe 2d, but in the 3d no matter where
you right-click, there is never an "add to panel" option.

I'm not concerned about it however - unless it's related.

Brent :)
