Title:
  Ubuntu 14.04 installation hangs with Pango WARNING

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Downloaded Ubuntu 14.04 Alpha Gnome Desktop iso from omgubuntu.

  Tried installing on a Dell laptop and an Compaq Qube mini desktop.  Doesn't even get to the screen where you choose Try or Install Ubuntu. It hangs at the message:
  (process:186): Pango-WARNING **: failed to choose a font, expect ugly output. engine-type='PangoRenderFc', script='latin'

  Both of these computers have had Ubuntu installed before. The Qube had
  10.04 for several years, and I was most happy with it.  I only decided
  to upgrade as it's no longer supported.

  I wish I hadn't bothered as it's been nothing but trouble ever since.
  I liked 10.04, but Unity is horrible, I've tried 11, 12, 13 and now
  14, and I'm now considering moving away from Ubuntu.

  I've downgraded to 12.10, which is also no longer supported, but
  remains the most recent version that runs successfully.
