https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=70349 Found a related bug in Evolution where certain text fails to appear. Check out this screenshot below where every instance of "gaim" disappears from the message preview pane when it is in the folder search filter. http://www.mplug.org/archive/2002/evolution-search-blank-bug.php The interesting thing is that if I select the text around the affected area, then middle-click in another application, the text is properly pasted including the word "gaim". After I discovered this, I tried the same thing in gaim. Disabled "Ignore font faces", then asked my Windows AIM friend to send me some messages. They appeared as blank in the gaim chat window, but select highlight and middle-click revealed the proper words. Could this possibly be a more general font system problem, failing to display text in certain circumstances, or should this be filed as a separate Evolution bug?
