So, me and Martin were investigating this quite a lot on Saturday. At one point it seemed as fontconfig caches were to blame since the tests passed after I removed ~/.fontconfig/, but this seemed to be only a one-time-thing, because now even that does not help anymore.

Anyhow, it seems that only tests with complex text are failing for me, and complex text being handled by Pango (AFAIK), I now firmly believe Pango is to blame. Lucky for me (if that's luck) I can reproduce these failures on two different Debian-based set-ups, Ubuntu 11.10 and Linux Mint 12.

The problem is that DejaVuSansMono.ttf gets somehow loaded and then used for complex text, causing failures. Removing this font file fixes this, but this seems not to be required on set-ups by other developers.

I'll look into Pango to see why exactly that font is loaded and how it can be avoided.
