Hi, I'm using Debian unstable i386 with latest updates. I have compiled XFCE 4.6RC1 using graphical installer and installed it into my home directory. The problem is that browsing the web using Firefox 3 all I get are web pages rendered such that there's no text there, just the graphic. There's not even space for the text, the page is rendered completely without it. The problem affects only web page rendering, application menus are unaffected. I'm using XFCE4.4 as my primary desktop, so I have deleted the ~/.config directory, but it didn't improve things. Please advise what should I do to help you reproduce the bug.
This is bug #4374
In 2 words: set DPI. Go to the settings manager, appearance, font. Btw, I didn't have to set the DPI on my new box, which doesn't have the same Pango/GTK+ version than my older boxes, in fact I have Pango 1.22 and GTK+ 2.14.7. Except from the version I won't be able to tell what else is different.

Here, with pango 1.22.4 and gtk 2.14.7 I still have the problem. When “Default”, it behaves likes if 96 was forced. I don't remember if the font size look different than beta3, with “-1” as Default. But maybe the “default” stuff is just ignored, and one should clearly set the DPI because default is definitely not a good choice (except for 96 DPI, that is) (and I don't know what it'll give with firefox/gecko stuff anyway)
