No matter what text (or font) I use, the Gnome::Canvas::Text item is simply displaying a long sequence of squares. In my experience, this is often symptomatic of a "missing font" issue. However, it happens with any font that I select. This suggests that libgnomecanvas cannot find any of my installed fonts at all. I found a utility called "fc-list.exe" which lists most of the fonts on my system. Those fonts are all available if I build a small gtk app which uses a fontselection dialog. But libgnomecanvas gives the impression that it doesn't even know the fonts are there. Is there maybe a difference in the way that gtk enumerates fonts, compared to libgnomecanvas? Or do I need some additional library to allow Gnome::Canvas::Text to function properly with fonts?
