Okay, I think I have this diagnosed and solved (as much as I can do)

This problem seems to arise from having an old version of
ubuntu-netbook-remix installed, (perhaps even from Jaunty), which doesn't
get removed when the newer version is installed.

The problem seems to stem from one package:
libgl1-mesa-glx

This cannot be removed by itself, but *by installing libgl1-mesa-swx11*
*
*
Installing this package removes the following packages:
libgl1-mesa-glx ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-netbook ubuntu-netbook-remix
so I was worried that my netbook launcher would no longer function - but it
works fine.

After installing this package (which uninstalls the other 4), my fonts in
unr are restored to normal!!

(ps - this also affects gnome-shell, which is also fixed by this package.)
