Anti-Alias Fonts Problem with Fluxbox

I've been running Debian Unstable/2.4.24 for a while without any major
problems I couldn't take care of myself. Last nite I did an apt-get
update && apt-get upgrade to grab the latest packages like I've done
countless times before.

For some reason the next time I restarted X (my nvidia binary drivers
like to crash) the fluxbox menus were random characters. All other prog
fonts; mozilla, eterm, xmms, kword, etc are normal, truetype,
anti-aliased, romantic characters like they've always been.

I did noticed that when I changed my fluxbox options to not use
anti-alias it displayed correctly, but are horribly rendered and ugly.

It's probably due to one of the newer packages I grabbed. Is there some
type of configuration file I should look at, or a particular
package/prog that may be causing this? Any help would be appreciated,
thanks.
