Bug#939748: Newest version breaks rendering of bitmap fonts in GTK applications.

Hash: SHA256

Package: pango1.0
Version: 1.44.6-1
Severity: important

The newest version in the experimental repo, 1.44.6-1, breaks the displaying of XLFD bitmap fonts in GTK applications.
If you set the UI font to a bitmap font (Fixed) in /etc/gtk2/gtkrc, all characters are replaced by empty glyphs.
I do not have GTK3 installed (since I dislike the direction GTK is taking), but it should affect GTK3 as well.
Downgrading the packages "libpangoft2-1.0-0", "libpangocairo-1.0-0" and "libpango-1.0-0" from 1.44.6-1 to 1.42.6-7 fixes the problem.
See attached screenshots for the issue.

PS: Before you say "nobody is using bitmap fonts", you should consider that not everybody has a high-definition screen or want to see blurry text.
