Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance. I mark it

I'll confirm the problem. I was doing automatic updates and was updating to Ubuntu 8. I have nothing but squares/rectangles where the text should be. When I type in firefox or the terminal (only able to start by looking at the icon) the fonts are fine. All dialog boxes, including any config

I have something not cosmetic at all, with all the gutsy menus'texts as squares, the only place I know that can handle still normal fonts is the terminal. If I launch gedit from term, it goes on showing 3 Pango-WARNINGs : failed to find shape engine for script = 'latin' and script = 'common',

Obviously, this is a cosmetic issue so listing it as Critical seems way too extreme. I've dropped it to Low. Also, while this certainly sounds like a legitimate bug, given that only two users are reporting it, this really doesn't seem appropriate to be milestoned. ** Changed in: fontconfig

so there have been only two reports of this bug since December (and one of them referring to different issues of ugly fonts)? If fonts were generally broken after a fontconfig upgrade from default gutsy to default hardy, we should generally expect a lot more confirmations of this bug. Fernando,

I am someone else =) Well, the fonts in skype are ugly (no antialiasing), in Firefox monospace turned to 6px. Workaround - turn back to *fontconfig* from gutsy. -- [hardy] squares instead of text after fontconfig upgrade until applications are restarted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/174373
