I've only tested in my environment, can you figure out why this happened? It should test to see if the file already exists before installing a new version. > 3. the local.conf that is put there is odd. It's supposed to be an example so that people can see how the file is structured; the included match/edit rule shouldn't be enabled by default. > fc-cache: ".": skipping, 240 fonts, 0 dirs > fc-cache: succeeded > > Which appears to mean it skipped all the fonts. I realize some ( maybe > 10-15) are not truetype, but should it skip them all? Ah. Misleading comment -- 'skipping' really means that it believes the fonts.cache-1 file already contains the correct information about all of those fonts. > [root@amd1900 Fonts]# fc-cache -v -f /win/ddrive/Winnt/Fonts > fc-cache: "/win/ddrive/Winnt/Fonts": Segmentation fault FreeType has a bug that causes this crash when looking at .fon fonts. I've put a work-around in fontconfig to avoid it. Thanks for your comments; can you check out the local.conf issue above? -keith
