Comment 3 for bug 563486

This turns out to be a duplicate of the following bug because it was caused by pango-graphite

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pango-graphite/+bug/404681

pango-graphite broke my gnome-volume-control as well as gnome-appearance-properties by causing segfaults. It also caused xchat to break as far as how it renders fonts (the end of the line would get cut off and some words would be mashed together ... highlighting the line revealed the beginning and end that were cut off) , and, I am sure, caused instability in Firefox (constant crashes just from running it). Uninstalling pango-graphite fixed the appearance as well as the volume control problem.
