Bug#452268: all fonts are unreadable
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.2-5
Severity: serious
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
I use unstable and in some recent upgrade (I think yesterday, or the day
before that), all fonts became unreadable. When I start xterm in
.xsession, the font is readable, but whenever I start gnome-session, or
kde, or xfce, or kate, or openoffice or gnome-terminal from the xterm, it's
completely unusable, because I cannot read anything - there are black
rectangles instead of the letters in all fonts.
So I did
$ sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-core
changed sources.list from unstable to testing
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install xorg
and everything started to work again. So the bug is clearly in xorg somewhere. Any ideas?
Please ask for more information, I don't know what could be relevant as
I don't understand fonts much.
Thanks,
Ondrej
