Any program that uses fontconfig such as alsamixergui returns: Fontconfig error: line 17: not well-formed (invalid token) Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file Segmentation fault I don't think I changed any config files, but I'm not even sure which one it is complaining about.
Set your locale: # zic -l Africa/Johannesburg and then remerge fontconfig: # emerge fontconfig *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 9705 ***
