I installed NOTO fonts and friends...


I personally am not dependent on this bug being resolved.  I
can easily uninstall most of this fonts, as I do not really
need them, if it helps my case.  But I'm happy to help
chasing down the bug, meaning to answer questions, as all
this is very much beyond my skills.


Thanks for looking into this, Gregor
