Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with this suitcase thing you mentioned. Normally I would be able to look it up and learn about it etc, but unfortunately I have a heavy course-load for the semester and probably don't have the necessary time to devote to it. I am cc'ing the devel list in case anyone else has the knowledge to have a look. Still, we should try to determine for sure if it could be an issue with my code, and I can (hopefully) fix that if it is.
Well something changed recently apparently. I hope that with the help of Nick you'll be able to reduce the time frame of occurrence of the bug.
Ok, here's my theory: Part of the design of my work was to not show any fonts in the UI that pango could not recognize, so if that's the case, that's why it's not showing up at all now. This is because everything goes through pango at some point so you ended up being able to select fonts that weren't usable. What's really interesting is that Nick was previously able to use these fonts even if they don't work with pango (assuming that is truly the case). Maybe there was a roundabout path available before that has been cut off now. Not sure if restoring that path is really desirable, as we seem to have decided to restrict ourselves to supporting what CSS and pango support (at least for now). Anyone have any opinions on this?
