Bug Description

As you can see in the attached screenshot some of the applications name's character on Slinghsot appears wrong (Firefox and Empathy in the screenshot and there is one or two in the other pages), but not all of them (Archívumkezelő... etc).
I'm hungarian and we have some other characters like: íéáűőúóüö. Looks like these characters won't recognized, but just in a few applications. In other apps the same characters appears well.
I tested with Ubuntu and Droid Sans.

Slingshot version: 0.6-0~115~oneiric1 from ppa:elementary-os/daily

I can confirm that. It's supposed to show the cyrillic "р" before the ellipsis, but it shows a square instead. The same letter appears earlier in the name and is displayed correctly, so the problem is not in font corruption.

I think it is fixed now since we are using pango directly to handle that, let me know if it still happens.
