            Bug ID: 105528
           Summary: weston-launch does not display fonts as non-root
           Product: Wayland
           Version: 1.5.0
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: weston
          Assignee: wayland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: dpa-bugs at aegee.org

I compiled wayland 1.14.0, wayland-protocols-1.12 and weston-3.0.0.

weston-launch used to work.

Then i don't know what happened, probably I installed the Noto fonts, and
starting as non-root `weston-launch` now doesn't display a clock or any text,
but on the upper left side of the window there is a terminal icon.  When I move
the pointer over terminal icon, it shows a hint - rectangle where one letter
would fit, but the rectangle contains no text.  When I click on the terminal
icon nothing happens.

When I start weston-launch as root, the clock on the right is shown, the hint
over the terminal icon is displayed and I can start the terminal.  Last week
however, probably before upgrading freetype and fontconfig, weston-launch
displayed rectangles as placeholders for the clock.

Could you advise me, why as non-root weston-launch does not display text?

Fontconfig has nothing special for root, fc-list |nl displays as root and
non-root 1656 fonts.
