Thanks for the prompt answer. This was indeed a font-related issue. I temporarily moved my font collection out of the way -- it is not very big, but contains some ttf fonts from random web sources -- and then everything worked. I'll try to find out what font might be the cause, and isolate it. And for the record: $ freetype-config --version 9.16.3 Thanks a lot!
