"Ugly" is a very subjective word. In the past, such problems were caused by the
reader not installing additional TTF fonts that don't come with Xorg. If
Yeah I know ugly is very subjective but I couldn't come up with a better word describing it.
installing DejaVu fonts according to the instructions in the book doesn't fix

than 10 KB in PNG or JPG with 80% quality). Be sure to include the application name.
Installing DejaVu fonts fixed the issues (better word choice than ugly fonts!). So thanks!
But I don't understand why 6.9 was working fine without dejavu fonts. Something radically changed?
