I was experiencing a similar problem and tried to reproduce it all yesterday afternoon[1]. My problem was as follows: 1. make clean; make; make install 2. rm /var/cache/fontconfig/* 3. fc-list 4. fc-list The second fc-list used to loop. But it doesn't seem to loop anymore. I then tried to trace down the commit that made it not loop, but didn't succeed, which makes me a bit suspicious. I'll putz around with it a bit more today, but I suspect that it is gone. Hopefully I can figure out which commit fixed it. pat [1] I seem to lack sufficient amounts of CVS-fu to make it really easy to binary search on a branch; cvs diff -rfc-2_4_branch -D2006-02-04 doesn't have the desired effect. SVN is kind of better that way... _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
