OK, I disabled all Ubuntu patches to libfreetype and recompiled and re-installed it. Unfortunately, I'm still getting the same failures. Then I additionally installed fontconfig-config and did the dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config step, setting everything to "Never". Same failures. These font errors make me unhappy. I think we should test some very simple pure libfreetype C program outputs generated on the various machines. I've just been playing with ftview, but that doesn't seem to have a command-line interface to save directly to a file. -Andrew ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
