The xquartz X11 update packages have switched from /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/fonts.conf for the fontconfig conf file to /usr/X11/lib/X11/fontconfig/fonts.conf
Don't ask me why, probably because of a general "backward comaptibility is so boring" attitude. See the thread from <http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/xquartz-dev/2008-September/001064.html> to <http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/xquartz-dev/2008-September/001072.html> on the xquartz-dev mailing list. The change happened already several months ago, I think in xquartz-2.2.0. And since Fink is now recommending to install the xquartz updates as a cure to the incompatibilities between Apple's stock X11 and Apple's stock xcode tools, the fontconfig-path package needs to adapt to this situation. Note that stock 10.5.5 X11 still uses the old directory for fonts.conf. I don't know the fontconfig xml based lingo, so I don't know if the <include> directive in /sw/share/fontconfig-path/fontconfig-path.conf can be conditionalized on the existence of one fonts.conf file or another. It is probably easier to do this in a PostInst script. In any case, the current situation is broken. If you run any executable that uses X11 fonts and fontconfig on an xquartz-updated X11 installation, you get Fontconfig error: Cannot load config file "/usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/fonts.conf" and the fonts are not loaded. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list Fink-devel@lists.sourceforge.net http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.devel
