#15052: pango: Font display problems when compiled against cairo 1.6.4 --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: mike@it-loops.com | Owner: ryandesign@macports.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Comment (by nathan@ecopunk.info): I wanted to confirm that I am seeing the same type of error. In my case installing a fully up-to-date version of MacPorts running on MacOS 10.5.2 with the gimp2 port results in the following errors on startup: {{{ (gimp:46826): Pango-WARNING **: shaping failure, expect ugly output. shape-engine='BasicEngineFc', \ font='Bitstream Vera Sans 10', text='Plug-In Interpreters' (gimp:46826): Pango-WARNING **: shaping failure, expect ugly output. shape-engine='BasicEngineFc', \ font='Bitstream Vera Sans Bold 10', text='Looking for data files' (gimp:46826): Pango-WARNING **: Error loading GDEF table 28333 (gimp:46826): Pango-WARNING **: Error loading GSUB table 28333 (gimp:46826): Pango-WARNING **: Error loading GPOS table 28333 }}} All text is then rendered as squares. (Note that I've broken the first two lines so as not to create wrapping problems.) However, downgrading to cairo@1.4.12_0+atsui+no_x11+quartz and rebuilding its immediate dependents (pango, poppler, and gtk2 in my case) results in the correct rendering of text, though I still get the "Error loading G*** table 28333" problem. Nor do fonts disappear again after upgrading to cairo@1.6.4_0+no_x11. This would seem to suggest that the "Error loading G*** table 28333" and actual "no text" problems may not be related. At the very least, it seems to add weight to the idea that the problem lives in pango, and not cairo. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/15052#comment:7> MacPorts </projects/macports> Ports system for Mac OS
