OK, I have a solution to the problem.
First, a description of what I did:
* Installed XF86 4.1.0-6. Didn't help.
* Removed the .kde2 directory. This worked.
* Turned on AA fonts in KDE. This caused all fonts to default to Allegro
BT which looks terrible.
* Changed the fonts (Control Center/Look & Feel/Fonts to use Arial instead.
Restarted KDE2. Problem with Netscape/Acrobat came back.
Here is the secret on how to fix the problem: Go to Control Center/Look &
Feel/Style and uncheck "Apply fonts and colors to non-KDE apps". Restart
KDE2 and the non KDE apps fonts will be back to normal.
So the problem seems to be with KDE. Something was changed in the code
that breaks Motif applications.

I removed the .kde2 directory and all is fine now. It's something wanky with the configs of 2.1.1 + XFree 4.1.0 .. I don't know what it is .. doesn't much matter now. It's working again.
