Title:
  Hershey Font breaks Xubuntu Destop and Applications

Status in gsfonts-other package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After choosing the Hershey font in the appearance settings, fonts on
  all applications got corrupted. Some critical applications like Thunar
  refused to launch.

  The only to fix the desktop was to manually edit ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xsettings.xml manully in the terminal, setting line 27 to:
  <property name="FontName" type="string" value="Sans 10"/>

  After a reboot everything went back to normal.

  As it seems the Hershey fonts are corrupted, as they show already
  scrambled in the preview of the font chooser.
