I upgraded to kde3.2 from an earlier version and have a problem that appears to be font related. My main menu is OK but all text in the dialogs and the help text for taskbar items are unreadable. This includes the initial dialogs that KDE displays just after starting. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If you have upgraded from 3.0.x there have been lot of of changes in config area of the KDE up to the 3.3.x and settings could not be compatible anymore - it is my personal experience. Try following:
1. LogOut KDE (right click to desktop, Logout user ..., Terminate this session only) - you get the KDM LogIn dialog
2. Ctrl-Alt-F2 to get the virtual ASCII console 2
3. LogIn as working user
4. Save old $HOME/.kde directory using e.g.: cd $HOME; mv .kde .kde.OLD
5. LogOut using exit command
6. Alt-F7 to get the KDM LogIn dialog back
7. LogIn as working user - KDE should re-create the $HOME/.kde directory
8. Of course, during this process you have "lost" all old personal settings and you will have to set up personal preferences again
9. If results are not satisfying restore the old $HOME/.kde using similar procedure as described from 1. to 7.
Good luck !
