Font problem (block instead of space) after upgrade to Xorg 7
Hi,
I run sid and I have a weird font problem after upgrading to Xorg 7. I
have changed the font paths in my xorg.conf file and most of the
applications I use (primarily Gnome-based) have no problems but xbuffy
and emacs-snapshot show rectangular boxes instead of spaces. Funnily
enough, emacs21 does not experience this problem with the same
configuration file.
I have a screenshot of the problem at http://zsridhar.com/Screenshot-xbuffy.png
I checked my Xorg.0.log file for errors or warnings and the only ones
I saw were:
Warning: FreeTypeRasteriseGlyph() returns an error,
so the backend tries to set a white space.
Warning: FreeTypeRasteriseGlyph() returns an error,

Googling for this lead me to this discussion
http://www.mail-archive.com/freetype@nongnu.org/msg00742.html but the
symptoms are different.
Has anyone faced a similar problem or have any suggestions?
Thanks,
