I am using CentOS (From what I can tell a redhat offshoot for enterprise development). It uses yum. I have verified fontconfig is installed, however when I use fc-list it give a null list. IE: # fc-list # Freetype is installed too, and I looked for packages containing common fonts and found none. So i installed some other dpi fonts and still receive an empty fc-list result. Any clue? X is not installed seeing if that will fix the problem though it seems x shouldn't need to be installed for fonts to install properly. I will try it and any suggestions here. If I can keep only yum installs I want to. Makes maintaining easier. Thanks.
