[Bug 456547] [NEW] fonts not displayed in certain apps

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

after upgrading intrepid->jaunty->intrepid, i had serious font problems
on my thinkpad x31 (radeon mobility M6 LY), such that many paplications
(openoffice, emacs, and others) didn't display fonts at all when run
under non-gnome desktops.  i've now wiped the drive and installed karmic
clean; now the problem is partly fixed, but certain programs won't
display fonts at all, even when run undergnome.  the ost crippling of
these for me is the goggles music manager, which uses the libfox1.6
toolkit.  But the same problem is evident in the transient system
messages (e.g. nm-applet's connected/disconnected messages, evolution's
'you have mail' bubbles).

I'd love to help track this bug down but i'm not sure where to start.
please let me know what i might do to help.  thanks,

matt
