The fonts in the menus is not affected, but the tool tips are. This is on a Ubuntu 9.10 for PowerPC installation, with Emacs 23.1.1. The screenshot shown here is an Emacs instance started with `emacs -Q'. I've tried selecting a different font through the menu "Options | Set Default Font...". This does change the dimensions of the Emacs window (so some adjustment to the new font is made), but any font I've tried is displayed in the same way... I'm not entirely sure if this is an Emacs issue or whether something else is wrong, but so far it only seems to happen with Emacs. I'm hoping someone has an idea what might be going wrong...
