Same thing here. Also Arch Linux with a similar config, though I have the GTK font set to Oxygen-Sans.

@arthurflor Thanks for choosing Brackets and letting us know about this rendering issue 👍. As Arch Linux is not a platform where Brackets normally gets tested, can you please let us know the process involved in installing Brackets on Arch Linux?
Unless we actually debug this issue, can't comment on what's going wrong with the configuration.

It's just the install command:
More info from the package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/brackets-bin/
Can do installing error? I will check the package build

+1 can confirm this affects Arch Linux install. I tried installing most of the fonts referenced in
src/styles/and rebuilding the font cache but the issue persists.anthonytex commentedon Sep 26, 2017
Hello all :) Have you try with "brackets" package and not the "-bin" pre-compiled version?
After updating to 1.1, the -bin version didn't execute but it crashed generating a core dump with SIGABRT (signal-6). So because gdb didn't find any debug symbols, i've downloaded and edited brackets package to make a debug version ... but after installing it and launch... it just works: so nothing to debug. The problem with brackets-bin must be something like well some linked library or different dependency?..honestly no time to test as my wanted result was "make it work again" ;)
Hello @swmitra thanks for your interest on this: basically there are 2 packages of brackets in Arch Linux in Arch User (not official so) Repo. Arch package from this repo are build on the fly with official arch tool (makepkg) so in this case "the brackets-bin" is build by simply downloading your Debian package, extract binaries and pack them to an Arch package while "brackets" package is build with npn install and g++ by downloading your sources: the first version doesn't work. Keep up your good work 👍 on supporting the linux version

The package brackets (without "-bin") doesn't install here. Results in compilation error.
But I'll go into more detail with this compilation error. Thanks!
anthonytex commentedon Sep 26, 2017
Yes, a dep "libudev0-shim" must be installed you can install my compiled version https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzKigOTG5qLEMFIyWGU3R2g1N28
sudo pacman -U brackets-1.11-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xzswmitra commentedon Sep 26, 2017

Extracing pango files worked for me too
kiroma commentedon Nov 1, 2017
Works here as well, going to pinpoint the broken commit now. Should we report it to pango's devs?

Thanks! It works fine for debian testing :)

So can I be the guy who explains how new they are to linux and ask for some more detailed instructions on @chsjr1996 's fix?
pwnfoo commentedon Nov 13, 2017
@1efty1337 Here you go:
Download the package from libpangoft2 package from here
Instead of opening it with Software Install, open it using Archive Manager and extract it. You will see two files. Again extract
data.tar.xzand navigate to the folderusr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnuthat you got after extracting.Copy the two files in that folder to
/opt/brackets. You might require root depending on how you've configured your system and restart Brackets if it is already running. Something like :sudo cp path/to/your/extracted/folder/* /opt/brackets/adminspivey commentedon Nov 13, 2017
@SachinKamath Thank you very much. I understand how easy it would have been to ignore such a simple question, and i appreciate the help!
pwnfoo commentedon Nov 13, 2017
@1efty1337 Np! Feel free to ping if you're stuck and welcome to Linux! :)

@SachinKamath
Your method works great on Ubuntu 17.10 with Brackets 1.11.0-17524 amd64 deb taken from Brackets homepage.
Thanks!
pwnfoo commentedon Nov 27, 2017
@maicardi, I just expanded @chsjr1996's solution but you're very welcome. Glad I could help you :)
abargnesi commentedon Dec 1, 2017
On Ubuntu 17.10 @chsjr1996's solution wasn't complete.
I moved the libpangoft shared object files to
/opt/brackets/lib:Then I ran the
/opt/brackets/bracketsscript which specifically setsLD_LIBRARY_PATHto/opt/brackets/lib. This allows brackets to link to older libpangoft files.
