Hi xfce's dev

i have a a boring bug in my xfce. This bug are present since my migration on xfce 4.4. I am waiting debug of this problem. Apparently, noboby have this bug. I have created a bugzilla's account for this bug :/

i have a personal font: MarlonBookDB (i attached this font for your test)

I have testing MarlonBookDB on Windows XP, Gnome (Debian) Gnome (Ubuntu) KDE (Archlinux)works fine. XFCE4.6.1 (other pc) (Archlinux) and my XFCE (archlinux). Only XFCE have this bug

Perhaps this bug disappears with a few hours , or never (random). They are present on Emesene, firefox, other perhaps (i have talking with emesene dev, but he doesn't from emesene)

i have a sure example on emesene, because a every reboot, this bug are present

i launch emesene, i looking a option menu (normallly i have) "Changer l'avatar…"   but i have "Changer l'avatarÊ" and a contact list when a nickname are so long, emesene cut with nomally … (but i have Ê) 

Always … are remplaced on Ê
            '   are remplaced on Ȫ or Ÿ
           perhaps other

my Archlinux have fr_FR.utf8
keymap fr-oss
xfce: 4.6.1
i686
Intel 4 prescott 3ghz
Nvidia Geforce 6600GT

Are you sure that this only happens in Xfce on that specific machine?

Sorry, but there's little possibility of this being a bug in Xfce.  It more likely has something to do with your system's locale setup, or possibly a problem with the font itself, or possibly with fontconfig.  It's really hard to say, but the fact that it shows up in any gtk application likely means it's not a problem with Xfce.
Comment 13 Ichigo 2009-05-14 19:25:59 CEST
And Why, Debian, Archlinux, Xubuntu have a same problem with this font. Gnome used GTK works fine, KDE too. (Ubuntu, Debian, Archlinux)

ONLY XFCE show this font's bug!

Doesn't mean it's a bug in Xfce.  We don't control font rendering *at all*.
