LANG is en_US.UTF-8 and so are the rest of the LC_ variables, however, I've noted that the error doesn't change if these are changed to let's say LANG=C, or something else. Also, the error goes away if I set the following environment variable, GDK_USE_XFT=0, though understandably. I'd like to mention here that the binary for the executable has been made using GTK+ libraries built with the enable-xft option OFF, and I'm trying to run the executable on a system that has GTK+ rpm's that have a linkage with Xft and fontconfig. Though, I'll be surprised if this should matter. --- Enrique Perez-Terron <enrio@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Thu, 2004-07-29 at 12:31, Viraj Chatterjee wrote: > > Whenever I launch my GTK+ based application on a > > client's machine (Red Hat 8.0, 9.0), I get the > > following two errors: > > > > Fontconfig error: line 1: unknown encoding > > Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file > > > > On searching the Internet, someone hinted that it > is > > possible that the /etc/fonts/fonts.conf file isn't > in > > an encoding that fontconfig can understand > correctly > > and hence the problem.
