[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#874589: fonts-font-awesome: Render errors when installed alongside other font packages

[Connor Glosser]

Package: fonts-font-awesome
Version: 4.7.0~dfsg-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I use fonts-font-awesome to draw identifying characters for i3bar
workspaces. In a fresh Debian install with only i3 (and related) +
fonts-font-awesome installed, these characters render perfectly.
However, it appears that installing fonts-sil-gentiumplus-compact and
latex-cjk-korean (both come as dependencies of texlive-full) cause
significant errors in many font-awesome icons (see attached).
