Font rendering under Debian 7

Asked by Viorel-Cosmin Miron

I tried both stable and testing version in Debian 7.5 yet the fonts are not rendering properly and have only white blocks instead of normal readable font. What can be done about this?

Here is the log attached.

Can you try run Stellarium in fallback mode (run via CLI: stellarium --safe-mode)?

OK. In the log I see that you have troubles with font configuration. Can you check it?
