When terminal window appear on my desktop i see : Application "gnome-terminal" (process 1829) has crashed due to a fatal error. (Segmentation fault) Next from .xsession-errors file: ** (gnome-terminal:1829): WARNING **: Failed to load Xft font pattern "Sans-10:slant=0:weight=100", falling back to default font.
You have Xft configured incorrectly, such that no font can be loaded. This is a bug in your XftConfig. Apps simply rely on "Sans" existing.
I am having the same problem but I still unable to figure out where things are going wrong because when I open the font window from the Desktop Preferences, I can clearly see that all applications are using the Sans font (it is also shown in the example window so I don't think that Xft was not able to serve it).
