I am using virt-manager on Debian Jessie. A few weeks ago, it was working fine for me; however now when I run it, the text does not render correctly.
I have tried reinstalling all of the dejavu fonts, liberation fonts, run fc-cache, rebooted the system, even reinstalled libvirt and virt-manager. No dice.
This issue is present both when using Xming via putty/ssh, and when doing ssh -Y from another linux box. The only thing I can remember doing that might have affected fonts is installing updates from apt.
Ideas welcome, need help here!
[EDIT] further research has shown that this is in fact a GTK problem; running non GTK x11 apps such as xfontsel works fine; running GTK stuff such as this code does not. I still don’t know how to solve it but hopefully this helps get somewhere!
Answer
Ok, for some weird reason, libgtk seems to have become uninstalled. The issue has been fixed, by doing apt-get install libgtk-3-0. What on earth it was that caused it to become uninstalled, I know not. It seems bizarre to me that a GTK based application would even launch if libgtk was not installed – but there you go. We are back to working, hurrah!
