Description

I noticed that some fonts in firefox-x11 render incorrectly, and a message is spewed to the console:

(firefox-bin:37135): Pango-WARNING : Error loading GDEF table 0x6EAD (firefox-bin:37135): Pango-WARNING : Error loading GSUB table 0x6EAD (firefox-bin:37135): Pango-WARNING : Error loading GPOS table 0x6EAD (firefox-bin:37135): Pango-WARNING : Error loading GDEF table 0x6EAD (firefox-bin:37135): Pango-WARNING : Error loading GSUB table 0x6EAD (firefox-bin:37135): Pango-WARNING : Error loading GPOS table 0x6EAD

The font having trouble is whatever is picked for the boxes in: http://fedorasolved.org/mobile/fc-wireless/bcm43xx-yum-extras

It looks like Courier at first guess, but I haven't looked into it more specifically.

Doing some searching, I found a similar issue last year regarding a font in wireshark (note 0x6ead == 28333): http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-i18n-list/2008-April/msg00008.html http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/15052 http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/15209 http://graphviz.org/bugs/b1318.html

The "fix" was to disable the freetype renderer for +quartz... well that's all well and good for the +quartz variant, but what about the X11 users? It looks like the problem is persisting for X11
