I have a winforms .Net-appliciation that presents a simple window with input boxes. If I build libgdiplus without the pango useflag, I get readable fonts in the .Net application. If I build with pango enabled, fonts are somehow squashed into one character. I suspect that it is caused by the combination of 'cleartype' useflag for cairo (which I have enabled) and the pango useflag for libgdiplus because it seems libgdiplus uses the system cairo when pango is enabled and otherwise an internal copy from libgdiplus (which I believe is version 1.6.x). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Build libgdiplus with +pango 2. Run some winforms application (eg. the MoMA, Mono Migration Analyzer) 3. The squashed fonts are seen in the file-selection dialog, but not elsewhere.
Thanks for the report. I did have an app that was looking a bit odd, but hadn't made the connection. I've masked pango for libgdiplus for now, upstream says that it'll be ready for 2.4. +# Peter Alfredsen <loki_val@gentoo.org> (20 Jan 2008) +# Pango is a Work-In-Progress for libgdiplus +# Bug 255623 +dev-dotnet/libgdiplus pango +

I thought my system was completely messed up.
