Description of problem:
With both Adobe AIR and Adobe Reader, using the Droid Sans font as the
application font causes rendering problems: all characters are rendered as
rectangular boxes

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
google-droid-sans-fonts-20090906-5.fc12.noarch
pango-1.26.0-1.fc12.x86_64
pango-1.26.0-1.fc12.i686

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open GNOME Appearance Preferences
2. Set Application font to "Droid Sans"
3. Start acroread (RPM: AdobeReader_enu) or Adobe AIR installer (RPM:
adobeair1.0)
   both are from Adobe's yum repository:
http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/i386/adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm

Actual results:
Boxes. See screenshots

Expected results:
Should work fine. Note that using Droid Sans Mono and Droid Serif works
perfectly.
