Package: foobillard
Version: 3.0a-2
Severity: important

*** Please type your report below this line ***

Foobillard runs, is hardware accelerated, and works fine, but the
program fails to display any text.  This means that the menu is
"invisible".  ESC fails to elicit any user-observable change, when a
menu is expected to appear.

The game is responding to keystrokes though, N starts a new game for
example.  Other keystrokes work as suggested, although many are very
difficult to interperet without any text.

This could well be an intel/i810 driver bug, or a configuration error in
same, or in my xft configuration.  I do have the unfree fonts installed.

The ball overlays in the lower left display normally.

It's difficult to know if this is an OpenGL implementation bug, or
something wrong with my Xft setup.  However, other OpenGL programs run
and display text normally (eg, zsnes, armegatron, quake ports, etc)
They may actually be loading bitmaps themselves though.

The kicker is that if foobillard is configured to start fullscreen (as
mine was, from an old dotfile from another machine), then it is nearly
impossible to get out.  alt-enter and alt-tab do not seem to produce
results.  There does not seem to be a single-keystroke "get me out of
here command".  You're completely stuck in a program where the
interfaces is not working, save for switching to a text console and
sending a HUP or similar.
