Today I discovered that when built from master, node-gui UI looks like this on my Ubuntu machine:
The first bad commit is 8dbc6b9 where the only significant changes are those in
Cargo.lock. I managed to narrow it down to thefontconfig-parsercrate which was updated from v0.5.7 to v0.5.8 in that commit.So in this PR I forcibly set the version back to 0.5.7 via
[patch]. This is a hacky fix though, ideally we should find the real culprit (which may not befontconfig-parseritself) and at least file a bug report.Update: it seems that the issue is specific to MATE desktop.
