Given that this package breaks the entire desktop in a non-obvious way,
the priority should be "high".  I'm a  software developer and have used
linux as my daily OS since 1993 and it took me several hours to figure
out what was going wrong.

What are novice users going to do, other than install another OS, if
this bug strikes them?  This bug makes all of X totally unusable.

Bug description:
  After upgrade from 12.10 to 13.04 beta of Ubuntu (Xubuntu), I am
  experiencing some issues. Like without me actually changing anything,
  my fonts are broken for some applications (most of them) and not for
  other (rxvt).

  See this http://i.imgur.com/ubVvr53.png

  As you can see, rxvt there is the only application with normal fonts.
  The Terminal application from Xfce suite is for some inexplicable
  reason using some kind of proportional font. See that the font in the
  Terminal Preferences is set to Liberation Mono. Also, please notice
  how in the Choose Terminal Font dialog the Courier New font Preview is
  not Courier New.
