    I installed it on Arch Linux, via the AUR. The issue has been found out and is described within the comments at the AUR page. It has to do with the fontconfig library.

The issue was the update to fontconfig. There are a few ways to solve it. Installing fontconfig-ubuntu from the AUR, which replaces and provides fontconfig, was the way I solved it.

You can also edit your pacman.conf to ignore updates to fontconfig and roll it back to the 2-15 version

Note that keeping outdated packages like this on your system could cause many problems.
