Now that’s one interesting application. And a useful one too, because I now found out the following: font-size 1-8: characters visible font-size 9-13: characters invisible font-size 14-...: characters visible If I disable font-smoothing completely in Xfce’s interface settings, the characters are visible at any size. They are also visible at any size if I choose xft or ft2 as backend for pango-view. Playing around with --hinting=none does nothing; fonts are always hinted. So it seems to be a Cairo-related issue … Either that, or something in my local font configuration is definitely not right. Regards, Mathias -- debian/rules
