TodayI performed an in-place update from 10.04 to 12.04. During the course of the install i noted the appearance of several dialogs (presumably errors) as described by the original report. I am still unsure about what to do in a lot of cases, so I clicked on the default (highlighted) button to continue. (I am new with Linux, but my overall computer experience goes back to the dark ages of TRS-DOS, CP/M, and integer BASIC on a teletype machine.)
AFTER this installation fully completed I noticed that the issue also affect a number of text-type items. I observed the effect (characters replaced by empty rectangles) in text email messages in Evolution, and in text files on the desktop. I had to try a number of workarounds. the results are illustrated in the attachments. Screenshot-01-<application>: Text email message as viewed in Evolution, gedit and writer. (It is readable only in writer.) Screenshot-02-<application>: Another text email bessage as viewed in Evolution and writer. Screenshot-03-<application>: A text (html) file stored on the desktop as viewed there, in gedit, and with notebook in wine. (It is only readable in notebook.) This is my first time reporting in this system, so any helpful feedback will be appreciated. ** Attachment added: "Text email in evolution - note that the body is trashed but the headers are fine" https://bugs.launchpad.net/pango/+bug/1038573/+attachment/3429159/+files/Screenshot-01-evolution-20121109T170942.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pango1.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1038573 Title: Unreadable messages displayed during Lucid -> Precise upgrade Status in Pango - Layout and Text Rendering LIbrary: New Status in “pango1.0” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “pango1.0” source package in Precise: Triaged Bug description: I'm just testing 10.04.4 -> 12.04.1 upgrades and the upgrade did complete successfully but twice during the upgrade I was presented with a dialog box that's totally unreadable, and the upgrade process does not proceed until I click on the unreadable widget in the lower right hand corner of the box.
