Antialiased fonts in Linux applications

Font in Linux applications no longer render as they should. Both
antialiasing and hinting is off. This applies to Acrobat Reader,
Mathematica, Maple and Opera (ie. all my Linux applications)
I have symlinks to /usr/X11R6/etc/fonts/* in /usr/compat/linux/etc/fonts
This used to work, but I don't know what has changed since then, since I
did a lot of portupgrades in time between this was last known to work, and
when it recently stopped working.
Any help would be greatly appricated.
