Package: fontconfig
Version: 2.4.1-2
Severity: important

Hello,

on our systems after an upgrade to recent etch, most gtk-based apps show
only empty boxes instead of fonts.

See 
http://planck.djpig.de/~mcornils/konten.png
(German locale)

This in effect renders the whole GNOME desktop unusable (please consider
upgrading this bug to serious!). 

I tried to look at bug #385448 for hints, but this seems unrelated since it
effects Western fonts, too; also, 
downgrading pango and/or fontconfig did not seem to help. However, for
Firefox, MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1 firefox eliminated the problem. So maybe this
bug is a pango bug after all (feel free to reassign accordingly).

fc-cache --force as root as well as as user did not seem to help either.

gaim, when started from the command line, shows:

offending font is 'Bitstream Vera Sans 10.4208984375'

firefox even crashes.
