After the upgrade I noticed that I didn't have the ms-truetype fonts that I
normally install -- but I can't recall installing them before, either.

Anyway, I installed them and ttmkfdir and reran fc-cache and fonts seem to
be fine for me now.

Can't honestly say that the upgrade caused a problem or if I just was looking
for problems because of the upgrade.
