After spending some time trying to switch g-i as to use ttf-dejavu as default font, I'm writing down the infos I collected so far hoping someone will help getting it to work. The current set of fonts uses ttf-freefont as default and a very old version of dejavu font (IIRC something lik 2.2); for my tests, I use an environment containing only dejavu and freefont ttf files and play with /etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc to decide which font to use as a default: gtk-font-name="BitstreamCharter 12" # if I want to use dejavu gtk-font-name="FreeSans 12" # if I want to use freefont Using the current version of ttf-dejavu (2.4.1-1) the frontend crashes when dejavu is set as default font but if freefont is set as default font, all languages displayed via dejavu 2.4.1-1 just work fine. I've asked for some help on #dejavu and been told pango > 1.11 (which added OpenType features support to Latin script) is the cause of many problems and they suggested to try DejaVuSansLGC: the frontend does not crash but the image just freezes without displaying all the text in the main menu and once I get control back I see this: debconf: dl-close.c:202: _dl_close: Assertion `(*lp)->l_idx >= 0 && (*lp)->l_idx < nloaded' failed. (!) [12134: 0.000] --> Caught signal 6 (sent by pid 12134, uid 0) <-- Killed I tried to use dejavu 2.5 and the problem remains regards, Davide
