I have something not cosmetic at all, with all the gutsy menus'texts as 
squares, the only place I know that can handle still normal fonts is the 
terminal.
If I launch gedit from term, it goes on showing 3 Pango-WARNINGs : 
"failed to find shape engine" for script = 'latin' and script = 'common', and 
"pango_cairo_font_get_scaled_font called with bad font."
So I could too expect ugly output.
It happened just after trying to install atk which seemed to be needed by 
pango, when putting the commands :
"svn co http://svn.gnome.org/svn/atk/trunk atk" 
"cd atk"
"./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr"
might be not exactly fontconfig-related, but still a problem that seemed to 
have be encountered by some users (more than 3)...
