when I try to start abiword-2 (1.1.4) it crashes with the following output: Fontconfig error: line 1: document is not standalone Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file Fontconfig error: line 1: document is not standalone Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file No fonts found; this probably means that the fontconfig library is not correctly configured. You may need to edit the fonts.conf configuration file. More information about fontconfig can be found in the fontconfig(3) manual page and on http://fontconfig.org (fontconfig 2.1-r1) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.abiword-2 2. 3. ~x86 fontconfig 2.1-r1 gnome-2.2.1
in principle we do not support 1.1.4 do you have a correct fonts.conf configuration file ? does 'fc-list' show anything ? Do other xft2 enabled apps run (i suppose they do) ?
fonts.conf allright; fc-list returns all fonts; all other xft2 enabled apps work without problems
upgraded fontconfig (I think) and it works now
and away it goes
