[gentoo-user] problems rendering unicode characters

[Liviu Andronic]

Hello list,

My system doesn't seem to be able to render certain fonts, mainly corefonts 
(Microsoft Arial, Verdana & Co.), but also unicode characters (Cyrillic, French diacritics, etc. of Sans, Vera and some other). They display a series of four numbers instead of a given character. The only font that is doing  the job acceptably well - that is displays correctly all these characters - is Dejavu.

I have re-emerged freetype with  
-bindist. And I would really like to be able to set some Verdana or Arial 
non-antialiased font as GTK default. 

Any ideas?
