http://modeemi.fi/~tuomov/ion/faq.html#1.13 Gnome programs hate everything that's not sanctified by the allmighty Gnome of Absolute Unusabilty, and especially everything that doesn't use fugly freetype fonts. Seriously, this is a known issue, and it seems to either be intentional or an X bug, or both, and only affects localised font support code in Xlib. Running 'xset -fp rehash' seems to remedy the situation. The problem might already have been fixed since it didn't happen on my system when I thought of reporting it through Debian's bug tracking system a month or so ago. Therefore I wasn't appropriate to report it through that system, and since the X and Gnome crowd seem to require registration to a bugzilla system to report bugs directly to them, they apparently don't even want know how buggy shit their code is. -- Tuomo
