This is what I get from starting X apps from a terminal... Haven't played with any of the configs. Fontconfig warning: line 32: unknown element "cachedir" Fontconfig warning: line 33: unknown element "cachedir" Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/80-delicious.conf", line 18: invalid match target "scan" [ Searching for file(s) /etc/fonts/conf.d/80-delicious.conf in *... ] media-libs/fontconfig-2.4.1 (/etc/fonts/conf.d/80-delicious.conf -> ../conf.avail/80-delicious.conf) [ Searching for file(s) /etc/fonts/conf.avail/80-delicious.conf in *... ] media-libs/fontconfig-2.4.1 (/etc/fonts/conf.avail/80-delicious.conf)
Same here. Happens with OpenOffice and wine (and probably other apps, too). fontconfig-2.4.1.
Out of curiosity, are you both on amd64? I get these warnings too, but only in 32bit apps (as far as I've seen): openoffice-bin, wine, a static 32bit sancho. If that is true, it looks like some emul libraries are getting outdated and need a bump ;) My emerge info FWIW: Portage 2.1.2_pre3-r2 (default-linux/amd64/2006.1/desktop, gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.5-r0, 2.6.18-ck1 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.18-ck1 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5000+ Gentoo Base System version 1.12.5 Last Sync: Mon, 16 Oct 2006 19:50:01 +0000 ccache version 2.4 [enabled] app-admin/eselect-compiler: [Not Present] dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.30 dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r6 dev-util/confcache: 0.4.2-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.60 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.17 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.13-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.17-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/NX/etc /usr/NX/home /usr/grass60/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/java-config/vms/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig ccache confcache distlocks fixpackages metadata-transfer parallel-fetch prelink sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo/ http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo http://pandemonium.tiscali.de/pub/gentoo/" LANG="fr_FR@euro" LC_ALL="fr_FR" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed" LINGUAS="fr fr_FR" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.cafarelli.fr/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 X a52 aac aalib acpi aim alsa audiofile bash-completion beagle berkdb bitmap-fonts bonobo browserplugin bzip2 cairo cddb cdr cli crypt cscope cups curl dbus dga dio dlloader dri dts dvb dvd dvdr dvdread elibc_glibc emboss encode exif expat ffmpeg fftw flac foomaticdb fortran ftp gb gcj gd gdbm gif gimp glut gmp gnome gnustep gnutls gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml iconv idn imagemagick imap imlib input_devices_evdev input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse ipv6 isdnlog jabber java jikes joystick jpeg kernel_linux lcms libcaca libg++ linguas_fr linguas_fr_FR lirc lirc_devices_mceusb2 live mad matroska mbox mikmod mime mng mono mp3 mpeg msn musicbrainz nas ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin nvidia objc offensive ogg openal opengl oscar oss pam pcmcia pcre pda pdf perl php pic png posix ppds pppd python qt3 qt4 quicktime readline recode reflection ruby samba scanner sdl seamonkey session slang smp speex spell spl sqlite ssl startup-notification svg tcl tcltk tcpd tetex theora threads tiff tk truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode usb userland_GNU v4l vcd video_cards_none video_cards_nvidia vorbis wifi wmf wxwindows x264 xcomposite xface xine xinerama xml xml2 xmms xorg xosd xpm xscreensaver xv xvid yahoo zlib" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
Yes, I am on amd64. And my freshly compiled openoffice-2.0.4 (yes, it works now under amd64, w00t!) does not print this warning, so you might be onto something...
Yes, that's it. I installed fontconfig in my x86-chroot and copied /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.* from the chroot to /emul/linux/x86/usr/lib. Now the warning is gone :)
That is /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so*, of course. And don't forget to run ldconfig :)
Adding amd64 to CC, as they are the ones responsible for the emul-* packages.
i've got that too.
This is getting to be really annoying. I tried fix this using UncleOwen's advice on replies #4 and #5. It didn't help at all. Instead firefox-bin was broken. It wouldn't start at all. Eventually I was able to 'fix' the firefox by re-emerging the emul-linux-x86* packages. Just FYI if someone runs into that problem. There's discussion about this in the forum: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-504906-highlight-fontconfig+warning+invalid+match+target.html Is this really the root cause for wine not working properly? I've tried 10 different versions, both in stable and in testing, and none of them work OK. I get programs installed but they just wont work.
Sorry about the previous post. Downgrading to fontconfig 2.2.3 solves this for me.(In reply to comment #8) > This is getting to be really annoying.

Downgrading to fontconfig v.2.2.3 solved at least the fontconfig warnings.
Isn't this about having old config files in /etc/fonts that do not work properly anymore with 2.4 ? Or having 2 different fontconfig versions at the same time ? Do the warning have any effect besides printing a message ?

(I since grabbed the libs from my ~x86 chroot to fix it locally)
amd64 please advise on proper action ? I intend to put 2.4.x up for stabilisation soon, will that cause any serious problems for the amd64 userbase ?
I guess we'll have to put 2.4.x in the emul libs then.

I stumbled upon this bug report while searching for info about the mysterious warnings. The fontconfig version I had used was IIRC 2.3.2-r2 version. So my posts weren't even about v.2.4, sorry. It's difficult to guess whether there are other side effects than the warnings, but I'd say no. In my PC firefox and browsers in general can from time to time consume a lot of memory and that combined with high disk usage often leads to quite a complete lockup. But in my experience the lockups appear even after downgrading the fontconfig to the 2.2.3 version so I'd assume there's something else which is broken in my PC.
