Description Brad Laue 2010-01-19 21:30:25 UTC 
As noted at: http://live.gnome.org/WebKitGtk

"Default font backend is FreeType, you can choose Pango using --with-font-backend=pango. However, the FreeType backend now contains the latest Pango code as well and thus the Pango backend is considered obsolete at the moment. You should use FreeType backend."

Reproducible: Always

Xan told me on #webkit-gtk channel that it applies for all 1.1.x versions :-)
Comment 4 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2010-02-12 21:20:57 UTC 
Fixed for 1.1.15.4, not for 1.1.15.2 since it will be dropped soon once 1.1.15.4 is stabilized (that I haven't removed yet because seems that it's stable on sparc)
