My main problem is the error "Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config
file" I guess.
Where is fontconfig looking for the configuration? How can I resolve the
problem?
Use strace or ktrace to track this down.
For example, on NetBSD I ran:
ktrace fc-list
and then ran kdump and saw:
6104 fc-list NAMI "/usr/pkg/etc/fontconfig/fonts.conf"
6104 fc-list RET open 3
...
6104 fc-list NAMI "/home/reed/.fonts.conf"
6104 fc-list RET access -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
6104 fc-list CALL access(0x804c280,4)
6104 fc-list NAMI "/usr/pkg/etc/fontconfig/local.conf"
6104 fc-list RET access -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
...
So I can clearly see what configurations it looks at (or attempts) and in
what order ...
"strace fc-list" on another outputted:
access("/etc/fontconfig/fonts.conf", R_OK) = 0
