Created attachment 505777 [details] Screenshot of broken fonts with Nautilus and Pidgin settings Description of problem: Since switching to F-15 and gnome-shell, fonts are broken, for example in Terminal, Gtk applications, and Emacs (see attached screenshot). The text is cutoff horizontally, such that the upper part is missing. It often happens after switching desktops. Firefox has also shown this problem. Hardware is a Thinkpad T60 with ATI RV515 graphics adapter (according to system info in settings). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pango-1.28.4-1.fc15.x86_64 gnome-shell-3.0.2-1.fc15.x86_64 How reproducible: Every now and then. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run fresh installation of gnome-shell 2. After a short time the problem starts to happen 3. With some actions the problem can be reverted for some time. For example in Emacs, I close on screen (having it split vertically once by default), and then split the screen again the font is normal again.
The problem manifests in Emacs even worse: some colored font items are simply now shown, for example syntax-highlighted "if"s get missing every now and then, more "now" than "then" unfortunately making this high priority for me. Can anyone shed some light on this?
Possible related to bug # 679414 I'm also seeing this with glade 3.8 (which I compiled and packaged myself-- it's not in fedora.) I also see this with firefox every so often, though it seems to fix itself after a while. Emacs never seems to recover.
Any progress on this?
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
