Quite Right Folmer,

I am pretty sure that this was fixed in 0.8.2:

Release Notes has this item:

  o BUG-FIX: Resetting of Own font colour on opening the preferences
 dialog fixed.

Dear Andrea,

I would suggest, if at all possible, to use a more recent version of coot, or 
at least test it.
0.8.1 is almost 2 years old, and the new ones are available for debian as tar 
files here:
 http://www2.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/Personal/pemsley/coot/

Even if you are not an administrator on the system, it is easy to use coot 
locally on your
own system.

Best regards,

That being said, without knowing anything else about your system, it 
could also be some sort of graphics card/driver issue, but that is not 
easy to tell from the information provided.
