A set of instructions on how to fix the harfbuzz + Infinality issue and restoring good-looking, Infinality-like font rendering.

Disclaimer: Please follow this guide being aware of the fact that I'm not an expert regarding the things outlined below, however I made my best attempt. A few people in IRC confirmed it worked for them and the results looked acceptable.

Attention: After following all the steps run gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache as root, this prevents various gdk-related bugs that have been reported in the last few hours. Symptoms are varied, and for Cinnamon the DE fails to start entirely while for XFCE the icon theme seemingly can't be changed anymore etc.

Check the gist's comments for any further tips and instructions, especially if you are running into problems!

Basic example of using the Python for Facebook SDK to get all the posts on a user's timeline.
import facebook
import requests
def some_action(post):
""" Here you might want to do something with each post. E.g. grab the
post's message (post['message']) or the post's picture (post['picture']).
In this implementation we just print the post's created time.
"""
print post['created_time']
