Forgot to add this info, reverting to freetype2-2.5.2 makes everything work again.

Can you provide a gdb backtrace? Would be nice if you can provide a backtrace with freetype2 recompiled with debug symbols.

Thunar runs well here. Make sure you have a proper font setup.

Here's a backtrace.

@Andreas Radke
How do I check that?

Looks like a crash in new code that was added in 2.5.3, I don't see related post-release commits for this upstream, so you probably should file this upstream.

Ok, upstream bug in here: https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?41869

I can confirm this issue on 2 different machines.
Segfault when running: xfce-panels (with certain fonts), thunar (sometimes works though), vlc, some java GUIs, some other programs...

Please test 2.5.3-2 in testing.

Works like a charm :)
