Fresh install, xfce4 desktop, at the first "emerge --depclean" all the characters in my terminal windows turn into little rectangles. Solution: switch to console, emerge media-fonts/liberation-fonts . Return to desktop, touch any terminal window, text reappears. Looks like a missing RDEPEND in the ebuild ? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge xfce4-meta 2. startxfce4 3. open a few terminals. Do stuff. 4. emerge --depclean Actual Results: Glyphs disappear from xfce4-terminal windows, replaced by rectangles. Restore by emerging media-fonts/liberation-fonts from console. Expected Results: Readable text persists. I may have seen this before ? If so, not specific to -1.1.3

Err, but the terminal defaults to using "system font"? This would imply that if anything's missing a dep, then it would be GTK+ or whatever provides the default font choice. That said, I honestly doubt people would want to be forced to install a specific font when they can easily set a different one.

(In reply to Michał Górny from comment #2) > Err, but the terminal defaults to using "system font"? Does it? This was a fresh install with no tweaks yet. The first depclean blew up the display.

Yeah, people are getting snippy these days about unwanted dependencies. But it's not easy to switch fonts after this happens: the partial window to the lower right in the screenshot is the xfce terminal settings. The first checkbox at upper left (unchecked after install) is the "Use system font" --but how would you know ? Also: check the box and the system font has the same problem ! The little rectangles just get smaller. It's not urgent for me, I'm fine now, but I think it's a real bug.
