Pango-WARNING **: shape engine failure, expect ugly output. The offending font is 'Bitstream Vera Sans 0' at /usr/bin/acidrip line 60.
This after the upgrade to latest available expat,pango,fontconfig,... from portage. It does not segfault but it doesn't work correctly either. I am unable to rip. After about 30 minutes or so it states that mplayer/mencoder kill by user.
