Pango and Debian

[Neil Williams]

Just a heads-up on the pango problems reported previously and highlighted in 
GNOME2_STATUS.

It's more than just warnings to the console. Now that I've been building 
updated trees and testing within G2 regularly, I can report that these pango 
errors are preventing G2 from displaying any *numbers* or *currency symbols* 
in the acccount summary or any reports in G2 on Debian. I've not noted 
problems on FC3 and I'm not quite able to run G2 on OSX yet.

Interestingly, the account *window* itself shows the numbers fine. The account 
tree shows the negative sign if the account is overdrawn (in colour too) but 
nothing else. All number columns in the account tree are affected, all 
accounts. All number fields in reports get reported as either blank or zero.

The message in GNOME2_STATUS is still relevant:
http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2005-March/012797.html
Pango-WARNING **: Invalid UTF-8 string passed to 
pango_layout_set_text()

I get literally thousands of these - a couple of dozen for every window 
refresh.

This is libpango1.0-0 version 1.8.2-2 but it's been occurring with earlier 
versions too. What versions are others using (so that I can get a start 
point)?
