Well, guess what!   I upgraded a 2nd machine, this time from
OpenSuSE 10.3 to 11.0, and got the corrupted fonts.  I played around
with it a bit last night but didn't solve the problem yet.

I had removed a LOT of packages on that machine before the 11.0
upgrade in order to free up enough space.  Perhaps there were some
font packages available in 10.x that aren't in 11.x?  I did a search
in YaST for font packages and installed all relevant ones.

The first machine that I took from 10.0 to 11.0 didn't have the
problem.  I have several more machines to upgrade, so I'll try to
solve this problem on the one before I cause the problem on more.  I
have one 11.0 box working so I should be able to compare installed
packages between the two.
