Then somebody else has to do the debugging.

Fontconfig works just that no GTK+/Qt app can use TTF
fonts.

Yes as I did cvs up -D "2003-06-18" make install
everything is ok cvs up -D "2003-06-19" make install
and no TTF fonts.

P.S: I use XFree 4.3.0 that might be the case I really
do not know.

[BTW, you should use `cvs up -D ... -dP'']
                                    ^^^

Anybody else who has this problem?  I don''t know what to do.

I can''t verify this.  Since I''m still using an older version
of XFree
I don''t have fontconfig installed by default.  Instead, I just checked
out the CVS archive of fontconfig together with the latest version of
expat.  Compiling went fine (using current CVS), and the test program
`run-test.sh'' works fine too.

This is very strange.  Theoretically, none of the changes should have
an impact if you recompile fontconfig.  Are you *sure* that you aren''t
using an old FreeType dynamic library?

You wont be able to reproduce this problem unless you
compile xft2 & fontconfig then recompile gtk+ 2 or Qt
3.1+ against them so they get fontconfig aware.

Hi all,

For like a more than a week with freetype cvs fontconfig is no longer to use 
freetype fonts. Weird thing is it can cache truetype fonts and *cant* cache 
pcf.gz fonts and Qt/GTK+ apps are only be able to use pcf.gz fonts and not 
truetype fonts.

So I did a bit cvs revert and noticed that include/freetype/freetype.h on 
2003-06-19 broke fontconfig. I attached exact patch which broke fontconfig. I 
reverted this patch on latest cvs and all fonts work and fontconfig can cache 
all fonts.

Please note that I recompiled fontconfig against freetype-cvs but that did not 
fix the problem.

P.S: I CC''ed Fontconfig list because fontconfig may need to be fixed (
maybe )
