Pacman -S successfully installs gqview, xscreensaver and GIMP with no problems.
However, when running the apps, there is no text nor labels in any of the menus or buttons.
Despite this, the applications DO WORK properly!
Problem is solved by reinstalling the "Pango" package with "pacman -S pango". Strangely, pacman actually said that my installed Pango was up-to-date, but I reinstalled anyway, and now everything works fine.
This task depends upon

I don't think this is a mainstream bug, are you sure you havn't done anything special? Do you remember building any packages manually? namely pango?

Generally when a problem is fixed by simply re-syncing a package means it was human error and not Arch error.

Were there any error/warnings outputed during the apps runtime?

Only other thing I can think of is that you needed to run ldconfig, as pango has a install file which runs:

sbin/ldconfig -r .
usr/bin/pango-querymodules >usr/etc/pango/pango.modules

So either you didn't have the pango modules installed properly or you simple needed to regenerate the ld cache.
