Details

An updated Pango package that rectifies a dependency issue is now available.

Pango is a library for laying out and rendering of text, with an emphasis
on internationalization. Pango can be used anywhere that text layout is
needed, though most of the work on Pango so far has been done in the
context of the GTK+ widget toolkit. Pango forms the core of text and font
handling for GTK+.

Pango is designed to be modular; the core Pango layout engine can be used
with different font back-ends.

The integration of Pango with Cairo provides a complete solution with high
quality text handling and graphics rendering.

This update addresses the following bug:

* it was possible to install Pango (and applications that relied upon
Pango), without having any fonts installed. This would prevent applications
from loading (as they could not render text) and resulted in an error
message. Changes have been made to ensure that the bitsream-vera-fonts
package is now a dependency of Pango. With the font present, applications
reliant upon Pango can load and render text correctly. (BZ#251928)

User should upgrade to the updated package, which resolves this issue.
