Re: No text is drawn

I had the same Problem,
its a bug in gtkextra/gtkfontps.c (or perhaps deeper in the pango-library)

Line 467
  if (!g_object_class_find_property(klass, "gtk-xft-dpi")) {
    dpi = 96.;
  } else {
    /* Read the settings. */
    gint int_dpi;
    g_object_get(G_OBJECT(settings),
             "gtk-xft-dpi", &int_dpi,
         NULL);
    dpi = int_dpi / PANGO_SCALE;
  }

g_object_get returns 0.

I have put the following line in ~/.gtkrc-2.0 (outside of  any style block):
gtk-xft-dpi=100000
which solved the Problem.
