Somebody at slug was having issues with fonts in GTK appearing as blocks, it happened to me last night when i upgraded X. I'm assuming what is happening is the font config is being overwritten by the installer application, the solution is to reinstall the fonts or ammend the config file. I found the easiest solution was rpm -Uvh --force *onts*.rpm if your using an RPM based distro.
