Thanks all of you for your help. I have still not managed to fix the 
problem. I have tried ruunning it under both Gnome 2.2 amd KDE 3.1 I 
have the same problem in both of them. I checked and free type is 
installed already. Not sure what the latest version of qt is but I am 
running the package libqt3-3.1.1-8mdk as well as the same version of 
libqt3-mysql and libqt3-common. Has anyone got any more ideas.

Thanks again for the help.
