Hi Readers,
In this post we’re going look at how to fix XFCE Panel crashes in Manjaro Linux.
What is the Cause?
XFCE Panel is crashing because: a running application is uses a font type in its title, since this type font (normally ttf and especially ttf-droid) is not installed the panel crushes.
Solution
To fix this we need to install ttf-droid font. It is available in the main repo.
To install, Open Terminal and run the commands below:
sudo pacman -S ttf-droid
[sudo] password for setho: resolving dependencies... looking for inter-conflicts... Packages (1): ttf-droid-20121017-3 Total Download Size: 3.53 MiB Total Installed Size: 15.31 MiB :: Proceed with installation?

After installation you should be able to access files and sites with Chinese and other fonts in their tile. For me, it was VLC Player.
Enjoy!
