[13.1 Gnome] Fonts messed up

Fist off: I tried out the Gnome 3.12 repo for openSUSE 13.1. It didn’t work (gdm would just show a black screen) so I remove the repo and downgraded again.
So I know that this is my fault. But I still hope there is an easy way to fix it :slight_smile:

Basically all fonts (except for Firefox for some reason) look like blocks.

Am I missing some packages, or is the configuration screwed up?
I am grateful for any kind of help :slight_smile:

Looks like the problem is related to pango, the text rendering engine that GNOME/GTK uses.

Did you downgrade all pango packages to the standard versions again?

rpm -qa | grep pango

Maybe you just need to re-create the pango modules cache:

sudo /usr/bin/pango-querymodules --update-cache

and if you’re on a 64bit system, this in addition:

sudo /usr/bin/pango-querymodules-64 --update-cache

If there are any errors, please post them.

You are right. I also started to notice that only GTK-Applications suffered from those font issues.
And recreating the cache did the trick. Thanks man :slight_smile:
I think I’ll just wait for 13.2 and stay on gnome 3.10 (**** curiosity^^)
