Hello William,

I haven't seen any problem so far. I tested with DirectFB 1.4.2 and GTK+
2.12.12 (a bit old...) and didn't touch the DFB_SHOW_GLYPHS (so it might
be 0) on an SH4 platform having a 2D blitter using english/european .
The problem you're describing looks a bit like a cache coherency
problem. Do you have a custom gfxdriver for DirectFB ?

Regards,
