You were right.
I was convinced it was AA that was causing the problem, but I've just had
a look at all the installed font packages and noticed that only
XFree86-100dpi-fonts and urw-fonts are installed. Installing
XFree86-75dpi-fonts fixes the problem.
This was on a clean install from an auto-install file that (I now see)
didn't explicitly specify any font packages. 100dpi and urw are required
by other packages, so they got installed anyway.
Ah well, that's something to remember for the future. Thanks for the
help,
Michael
