Package: libpango-1.0-0 Version: 1.44.7-3 Severity: important Tags: upstream
Since yesterday's apt full-upgrade of testing, font rendering in Gtk applications is very bad, kerning is broken, text is wider than necessary, it's very very unpleasant, I'd even say downright unuable without downgrading. What I'm seeing is exactly this: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pango/issues/404#note_712911 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pango/issues/404#note_676284 https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz/issues/1892#issuecomment-552877664 so I won't include additional screenshots. I'm not sure what should Debian do provided upstream seems a bit dead... But breaking font rendering in Gtk apps across all Debian installations doesn't seem like a very good outcome either. :-( Any ideas? If anyone else is experiencing this, my workaround: /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20200401T000000Z/ testing main contrib non-free /etc/apt/preferences: Package: *pango*:* Pin: origin "snapshot.debian.org" Pin-Priority: 1100 -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (990, 'stable'), (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'stable-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.4.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_USER, TAINT_WARN, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=cs_CZ.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=cs_CZ.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=cs_CZ.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages libpango-1.0-0 depends on: ii fontconfig 2.13.1-2+b1 ii libc6 2.30-4 ii libfribidi0 1.0.8-2 ii libglib2.0-0 2.64.1-1 ii libthai0 0.1.28-3 libpango-1.0-0 recommends no packages. libpango-1.0-0 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- Tomáš Janoušek, a.k.a.
