RHBA-2012:1498 - pango bug fix update
Synopsis
pango bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated pango packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
Pango is a library for laying out and rendering of text, with an emphasis on internationalization. Pango forms the core of text and font handling for GTK+ widget toolkit.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Due to a regression in the pangoft2 module, an incorrect calculation caused that the approximate width of a character was reported as zero. Consequently, some applications using the Pango library failed with an assertion. With this update, the approximate character width is always set correctly and the failures no longer occur. (BZ#878772).
User of pango should upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
