I don't think mine does.

I will try today evening, but since I already removed the canorus
package and am not sure it was provided by my package repository, it
might be that I will not be able to restore the system to a state
susceptible to the problem.  It may also be that the order of fonts will
be different after reinstallation.

So no promises.  The patch looks plausible, though.
