    Hi Busmanus,

    You might try running 'fc-cache' as the root user.
    This may fix the problem.

    Sorry about the other bugs. If you have a copy of your
    old font, maybe you could go to bugzilla.abisource.com
    and file a bug there. With some luck, we'll have a
    chance to look at it.

    Thanks,
    Dom
