After downloading those fonts and trimming the .fonts.conf file down to a very minimum (just the dir for the fonts), my program now works. I also experimented with putting the X11 fonts dir in the .fonts.conf file and running fc-cache (as root) and it seems to now let me use some of the fonts in the X11 installation dir. I appreciate your help immensely. Thanks, Dav ----------------------------------------------------------------------- - J.
