Recall, after upgrading xfree from 4.2 to 4.3, then libXft and libfontconfig found no fonts.
My mistake apparently. I had to run fc-cache (which scans for fonts and builds fonts.cache-1 files). I assumed fonts.cache-1 were just for performance, not strictly required. I was also surprised that installation didn't run fc-cache. Thanks, Ron [EMAIL PROTECTED]
