Re: Pango-WARNING failed to choose a font

Thanks.

fc-match returns
Vera.ttf: "Bitstream Vera Sans" "Roman"

Apparently pango does not like this,

(gtk-demo:3274): Pango-WARNING **: failed to choose a font, expect ugly output. engine-type='PangoRenderFc', script='latin'

(gtk-demo:3274): Pango-WARNING **: failed to choose a font, expect ugly output. engine-type='PangoRenderFc', script='common'

**** so, how do I get fc-match to return something else? Or what kind of font I need to install?

Correct.

Does running 'fc-match' return anything?  That's the font pango will find and use.
