The text output is not legible (opensuse 11.1)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start gource on a repository
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The expected output has nice fonts. I see crippled fonts instead. See
attached screenshot

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.14 on opensuse 11.1

I am sure the font file is found because I replaced the source to use
another font and it worked only after copying it to the correct directory.

Strange. Dunno what that is. Did you build it with ftgl 2.1.3 rc5?

Did using the other font fix it?

Yes, I've compiled the latest version of ftgl. FTGLDemo seems to work. Using 
the 
other font did not fix it.

I've seen some valgrind errors with gource. Might it be related to this?

It looks like the Glyph texture of the font FTGL/Freetype2 produced is corrupt
somehow, but I don't know what would cause that. Notice the rest of the 
textures are
fine. Also there is a strange interlaced appearance to the font texture 
corruption.

Perhaps try whatever font is used by the FTGL Demo.

I guess you could also try the current version of Gource in Git since that's 
using
pkg-config to get the correct build flags for FTGL in case that's the problem.

The FreeSans.ttf shipped with gource looks fine. A rebuild from the git 
repository
shows the same problem. Maybe it is related to the graphics driver? I use the 
radeon
driver. I also attach a screenshot of FGLDemo with the FreeSans.ttf.

Closing as this is unlikely to still be an issue...
