I run iceweasel 6.0-b4-1.

But that ought not to be a problem, since even with gcompris, I have a
similar problem.

Here is _part_ of output from starting gcompris from the command line:-


<start>

(gcompris:13516): Pango-CRITICAL **: No modules found:
No builtin or dynamically loaded modules were found.
PangoFc will not work correctly.
This probably means there was an error in the creation of:
  '/etc/pango/pango.modules'
You should create this file by running:
  pango-querymodules > '/etc/pango/pango.modules'

(gcompris:13516): Pango-WARNING **: failed to choose a font, expect ugly output. engine-type='PangoRenderFc', script='latin'

(gcompris:13516): Pango-WARNING **: failed to choose a font, expect ugly output. engine-type='PangoRenderFc', script='common'
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 40, in <module>
    from gtk import _gtk
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/_gtk.so: undefined symbol: gtk_combo_box_set_entry_text_column

  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 40, in <module>
    from gtk import _gtk


</end>

I think there is some bug report about the python related issue about
gcompris.

I already have fonts in /usr/share/fonts, and did run fc-update as
root.

I fact, I upgraded pango, ran fc-upgrade, and mathrubhumi.com and
ml.wikipedia are showing up squares.

I downgrade back to 1.28.4-1 and things are back to normal. 

Problem in iceweasel is only with ML fonts; in gcompris, even ascii
text has the problem. Since only pango changed, obviously, the culprit
I can see is pango.

So, what else should I be looking at?
