Bug#294914: libpango1.0-0: 1.8.0-3 breaks fixed font colors in Sarge

[Gerald Hochegger]

Package: libpango1.0-0
Version: 1.8.0-3
Severity: important

Hello,

after a dist-upgrade of my Sarge system on 2005-02-11, the colors of my
eclipse fonts (I'm using Fixed 13) were completely broken.
Instead of the usual black, green, blue colors I've four flavours of
red fonts, what makes the code quite unreadable.

The problem does not affect all fonts (true type fonts are ok) and is
visible in other related packages also. (gvim - when you select an
fixed font) screenshot: http://www.uni-klu.ac.at/~ghoch/gvim.png

After spending some time trying to find the culprit, I upgraded an older
Sarge system gradually and after installing libpango1.0-0 1.8.0-3  and
libpango-common1.0-0 1.8.0.3 I could see the problem.

Downgrading to 1.6.0-3 (thanks snapshot.debian.net) fixes the problem, so I
assume something went wrong with 1.8.0-3

Greetings,
Gerald
