Problem with fonts

["aruna pourohit" <aruna pou wipro com>]

Hi All,

In Font Picker(used to select font - gnome_font_picker_new/or some gtk
call which creates the dialog for selecting fonts) there is list of
fonts displayed. If you choose the fonts for which there is no preview
displayed, then the text for which you set, will become blank ( this is
seen with the font family zapfdingbats, symbol*, song ti,...). 

For example try to set the font for the desktop (Application->Desktop
Preferences->Fonts). 

I tried looking into the libgnomeui/gnome-font-picker.c. As far as I
understand there is no problem in setting the properties of the selected
font family.

Does any one have any idea why this is happening ?

with best regards
Aruna
