Hello.

Leo Prikler helped Jonathan Freder fix his issue by refreshing the 
system's fontconfig cache.

Going to go ahead and close.

Some Gnome applications (Claws Mail and Glade in my case) show
rectangles in place of characters. Screenshot of this is attached.
Terminal logs in these cases show for example:

(claws-mail:14616): Pango-WARNING **: 12:31:34.945: shaping failure,
expect ugly output. shape-engine='PangoFcShapeEngine', font='Cantarell
Oblique 11', text='Personal'

I've tried manually installing 'font-abattis-cantarell' into my
profile, which did not solve this problem.
