Since a couple of days I suddenly have this problem in Evolution: Html e-mails with the arial font (html size 2) displayed with a very small (barely readable, 6pts or so) font. I noticed this in a newsletter I always read, and that always has looked fine untill now. I've been using evolution for over a year now. I recently did an emerge -uD world. So now I have tried to downgrade back some upgrades to find the problem. I first tried gtk+ (from 2.4.14 back to 2.6.2), next libgnomeui (from 2.8.1-r1 back to 2.8.0) (no effect up until here), next glib (from 2.4.8 back to 2.6.2-r1) (this prevented evolution from starting up), and finally pango (from 1.8.0 back to 1.6.0). Downgrading pango did it. So the problem must be situated somewhere in pango or glib. My guess is the following: In the pango changelog it says: " 28 Dec 2004; Ciaran McCreesh <ciaranm@gentoo.org> : Change encoding to UTF-8 for GLEP 31 compliance" Could it be that Evolution can't handle this properly? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Upgrade pango and glib to latest stable version 2.View a HTML e-mail in Evolution that contains an arial font 3.

I can reproduce this too. For me it only happens with the compose email window. If one uses a different font (ie turn off "Use the same fonts as other applications" in the settings) then it works. I'm using: pango-1.8 libgtkhtml-3.2.3 evolution-2.0.2-r1 My default gnome "Application font" is "Sans 10" and I've not installed any odd fonts beyond the ordinary ones that X and Gnome installs. I have installed ms corefonts but I doubt that fontconfig turns "Sans" into one of those. I think it's "Bistream Vera Sans".
Sorry, I may have forgotten some details. For instance my Evolution version is 2.0.2-r1. I seem to be having more problems with Evolution now (and without using the newer versions!): clicking Extra>Options makes Evo crash and just close down without a warning. Perhaps the cause of this is that I c orrupted some config files by some killing I had to do because Evo wasn't working after the glib downgrade...
try the just added pango 1.8.1 which should fix these issues afaik.
Yep, seems to solve it afaik.
*** Bug 84588 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Confirmed here, and fixed for me.
I see that 1.8.1 is in the tree.. but the broken 1.8.0 version is still the x86 stable version..
