Well, I got it fixed, but I don't know exactly how. I reinstalled fontconfig and freetype and most of the libraries in Chapter 26 that might have anything at all to do with fonts like gtk+, pango, cairo, etc. I did update some of the library versions to the latest in the book. I also remaed my ~/.fonts directory. Don't know for sore where I went wrong, but the fonts work now. And gimp 2-4 works fine. I did not have to recompile it, so it is now a CMMI application. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
