[solved] ui fonts in dartium (chromium-fork) are invisible

Hello,

my dartium renders webpages correctly, but ui fonts (address-bar, tabs, menus,...) are not shown.  I can select the text and copy paste it.  During the selection the blue background is correctly shown.
chromium and chrome work fine.

I have tried starting dartium in a fresh user and still have the same problem.

kde (5.2) / gnome didn't change anything.

I even tried to change the rendering backend for the compositor to xrender.

If I am not mistaken chromium gets its font from:
gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface font-name               
'Cantarell 11'

I do have this font installed (and changing didn't help).

I have found some reports about broken fonts where reinstalling fontconfig did help.
Didn't help in my case.  I do use the infinality-bundle!  (fontconfig-infinality-ultimate).

any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

christian

I had to replace
fontconfig-infinality-ultimate-2.11.1-28
with
fontconfig-iu-comp-2.11.1-4
