As I note in the bug eval the probable issue here is that the file was found but rejected. I've made the code more forgiving by removing the test that the file have references to font files. The XLFD pattern for locating the files will work if they are missing (I did some manual testing).
Also the reference to OpenSolaris here is obsolete. There's more clean up that could be done around that but for this fix I wanted to keep it about this Linux issue except for cleaning up
the overall if (..) logic -phil.
