Summary0001386: all menu and dialog text disappears
DescriptionThe attached screenshot speaks a 100 words... (well actually it doesn't ;)

All text in menu entries and dialog boxes is gone. The actions leading up to this were:
1) starting jackd (jackd -R -d freebob -d"hw:2")
2) starting ardour2
3) loading an ardour2 saved project containing 2 tracks and one imported region.
4) pressing play and shortly thereafter opening the options dialog

Note that the setup might be a little odd, but should be working afaik:
* ardour2 and all libs are compiled & installed with --prefix=$HOME/ardour2 or PREFIX=$HOME/ardour2

the enviroment vars during the compilation process and when running ardour2 were changed as follows:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/ardour2/lib
export PATH=$HOME/ardour2/bin:$PATH
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/ardour2/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH

Compiled from source and installed in ~/ardour2 are:
ardour-2.0beta9
cairo-1.2.0
glib-2.12.6
gtk+-2.10.6
jpeg-6b
pango-1.14.8
tiff-3.7.4

Other depencies were installed from planetccrma. FWIW: I'm using KDE.

Were you using a non-english system?

this is believed fixed in svn. it was caused by your locale specifying a non-UTF-8 charset. our translations are all in UTF-8 format, and we now force the code to treat it as such.

let us know if its fixed for you. you can also try it by setting your locale to foobar-UTF8 rather than foobar-iso8859-1 (for example)

the pango warning seems relevant as well. that would be outside of ardour scope though.
