Hello, I am no developer, but I saw this bugreport by accident and remember that I once had the same or at least similar problems. It is in fact a relatively common problem (try a google search) and as far as I can remember you should check your what your LANG environment variables are set to (are your using euro? for me using german it was a common problem when using "de_DE@euro" instead of "de_DE")
check your fonts listed in ~/.sylpheed/sylpheedrc so they work. verify that with xfontsel.
looks like all the fonts are installed, and setting LANG="C" doesn't help. but sylpheed works as root.
could u try the new sylpheed ebuild please :)
any word on this bug?
