[XFree86] XFree 86 4.3.0: Type 1 fonts do not work with fontconfig

[Laurent Blume]

I successfully compiled XFree 4.3.0 on Solaris 9 x86, using GCC and GNU 
binutils, linked against my system's freetype 2.1.3 and not the bundled 
2.1.1, and it works quite well, except for an important detail:
Type 1 fonts are not working anymore.

Actually, it's a bit more complicated.
When I put my Type 1 font directory in /etc/X11/XF86config (as it was 
before, working very well with XF 4.2.x), the Type 1 fonts work 
correctly in X apps (like xfontsel), but do not appear at all in 
fontconfig apps (like KDE).

When I put it in /etc/fonts/local.conf (along with dirs containing 
TrueType fonts, which work), the fonts are not displayed in X apps, but 
are in fontconfig apps, however, they're not working: if selected, they 
all look the same, kind of Helvetica.

I ran mkfontscale and mkfontdir on all directories, then fs-cache, with 
the same results.

Any idea ?

Laurent
