The package works fine for me. Torbjörn Andersson suggests that it may be related to the fontconfig version; can you confirm? E.g. did the problem start for you at the same time as a fontconfig update? Can you try running gitk from testing or stable to see if they behave differently? Part of the reason I ask these questions is that gitk hasn't had any recent changes. Thanks, Jonathan
