Humm, works fine here (svn trunk). Can you use the same font as the default UI font, does it work?
Comment 2 Olivier Fourdan editbugs 2008-08-15 21:56:15 CEST
Tried with 4.4 branch and no problem whatsoever.

Looks like a bug in pango: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=233311

I think that we can close this now, the Gentoo bug has been fixed and there's no problem at all here.
