Package: fontconfig
Version: 2.4.1-2
Severity: important
Hello,
on our systems after an upgrade to recent etch, most gtk-based apps show
only empty boxes instead of fonts.
See
http://planck.djpig.de/~mcornils/konten.png
(German locale)
This in effect renders the whole GNOME desktop unusable (please consider
upgrading this bug to serious!).
I tried to look at bug #385448 for hints, but this seems unrelated since it
effects Western fonts, too; also,
downgrading pango and/or fontconfig did not seem to help. However, for
Firefox, MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1 firefox eliminated the problem. So maybe this
bug is a pango bug after all (feel free to reassign accordingly).
fc-cache --force as root as well as as user did not seem to help either.
gaim, when started from the command line, shows:
---snip---
mcorn...@bremen:~$ gaim
(gaim:8040): Pango-WARNING **: shape engine failure, expect ugly output. the
offending font is 'Bitstream Vera Sans 10.4208984375'
(gaim:8040): Pango-WARNING **: pango_font_get_glyph_extents called with bad
font, expect ugly output
(gaim:8040): Pango-WARNING **: shape engine failure, expect ugly output. the
offending font is 'Bitstream Vera Sans 10'
mcorn...@bremen:~$

firefox even crashes.
