Description:

Latest pango upgrade causes bitmap fonts characters to be replaced by “rectangular placeholders”.

Additional info:

Steps to reproduce:
• If necessary install any bitmap font (e.g. terminus-font).
• Attempt to set this font in a Gnome app like Terminal.
• Characters in font will be displayed as “rectangular placeholders”.
• Attempt the same with previous pango package version (1:1.43.0-2) and compare results.
