I have seen an issue similar to this before with Mate on Centos 7.
In that situation it turned out to be a problem with the desktop theme.
Try different themes and see if that fixes it.
I had the same problem after loading my software onto a new OS distribution. The fonts appeared as they do in your example. It would appear older distributions favoured 75dpi as the first font resolution of choice. Unaware of this choice, I created my forms to match this dpi setting. I assume they choose 75 over 100 since it is first in line, dpi wise. Later distributions chose 100 first. To preserve my work I force the use of 75dpi fonts by calling the following routine before calling fl_initialize().void xsetmyfonts(){fl_set_font_name(FL_NORMAL_STYLE, "-*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-*-?-*-75-*-*-*-*");fl_set_font_name(FL_BOLD_STYLE, "-*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-*-?-*-75-p-*-*-*");fl_set_font_name(FL_ITALIC_STYLE, "-*-helvetica-medium-o-*-*-*-?-*-75-p-*-*-*");fl_set_font_name(FL_BOLDITALIC_STYLE, "-*-helvetica-bold-o-no*-*-*-?-*-75-p-*-*-*");fl_set_font_name(FL_FIXED_STYLE, "-adobe-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-?-*-75-m-*-*-*");fl_set_font_name(FL_FIXEDBOLD_STYLE, "-adobe-courier-bold-r-*-*-*-?-*-75-m-*-*-*");fl_set_font_name(FL_FIXEDITALIC_STYLE, "-adobe-courier-medium-o-*-*-*-?-*-75-m-*-*-*");fl_set_font_name(FL_FIXEDBOLDITALIC_STYLE, "-adobe-courier-bold-o-*-*-*-?-*-75-m-*-*-*");fl_set_font_name(FL_TIMES_STYLE, "-*-times-medium-r-*-*-*-?-*-75-p-*-*-*");fl_set_font_name(FL_TIMESBOLD_STYLE, "-*-times-bold-r-*-*-*-?-*-75-p-*-*-*");fl_set_font_name(FL_TIMESITALIC_STYLE, "-*-times-medium-i-*-*-*-?-*-75-p-*-*-*");fl_set_font_name(FL_TIMESBOLDITALIC_STYLE, "-*-times-bold-i-*-*-*-?-*-75-p-*-*-*");fl_set_font_name(FL_MISC_STYLE, "-*-charter-medium-r-*-*-*-?-*-75-*-*-*-*");fl_set_font_name(FL_MISCBOLD_STYLE, "-*-charter-bold-r-*-*-*-?-*-75-*-*-*-*");fl_set_font_name(FL_MISCITALIC_STYLE, "-*-charter-medium-i-*-*-*-?-*-75-*-*-*-*");fl_set_font_name(FL_SYMBOL_STYLE, "-*-symbol-medium-r-*-*-*-?-*-75-*-*-*-*");}Hope this helps,Serge
