OK, it is as bad as I thought. Try this: Get to gnome-font-properties somehow, change the first font (I can't read mine now, but it was probably "Application Font", if you change it to (say) OpenSymbol, hit OK, now the whole dialog is unreadable. At this point I would expect to be able to hit ESC or close the dialog to lose my changes (which I can do at least in KDE, probably Windows too), but no, I have had my fonts nuked. Try going back to change the font, but now, since the font names use the "Application Font", I can't read them now. It is not too difficult to put back, but this kind of thing can create unnecessary work for the help desk.
