At one time I was having problems with fonts in X.
I improved the fonts, but I still think there may be problems:

I have two secretaries, both logged into the same application server, running
identical software. Yet one always seems to have more problems with ugly
fonts. The other day she was printing something from kword with a title
in a script font. It displayed perfectly in kword, yet substituted an entirely different font upon printing. The solution was to "embed the font" in the
ps/pdf. Another time she was having problems printing where serif fonts
were changed to non-serif fonts and monospacing. I "solved" the problem
by selecting all the text in the document and changing the encoding from
en_US to en_American. Weird. She was re-using a kword document. Maybe
some setting in kword had changed from a previous version of kde? Or maybe
something had changed when I upgraded to gcc-4.1.1 and glibc-2.4-r3. But
I really haven't investigated further.

I did do a complete reverse dependency rebuild "revdep-rebuild world"
which fixed a problem with libcup.so and whereby kprinter would duplex
documents which should not have been duplexed. But I still have the problem
with kword documents previewing as blank pages with kghostview.

I've not had any problems with latex. Unfortunately, the secretaries
balk at learning it, although I have managed to get them to use a 
fax cover sheet written in lyx.
