Bug#297785: libpango1.0: shape.c: line 75 (pango_shape): assertion failed: (glyphs->num_glyphs > 0)

[Eelco Lempsink]

Package: libpango1.0-0
Version: 1.8.0-3
Severity: normal
File: libpango1.0


When starting any pango-using applcation such as gvim, firefox and
gnumeric the following error appears:

(gvim:19177): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion
`G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

(gvim:19177): Pango-CRITICAL **: _pango_engine_shape_shape: assertion
`PANGO_IS_FONT (font)' failed

Pango-ERROR **: file shape.c: line 75 (pango_shape): assertion failed:
(glyphs->num_glyphs > 0)

I had some GTK errors recently, after upgrading, but those appeared to
be caused by a custom libglib installation.  I removed that installation
and as far as I can see only official libraries are used now.
