I''ve placed snapshots of the Mozilla startup for both these platforms at: ftp://ftp.thewrittenword.com/outgoing/fc Before taking the screenshot, I did the following: $ rm -rf ~/.mozilla .fonts.cache-1 $ mozilla-1.3.1 What''s also odd is that after starting Mozilla for Solaris 9, I quit, removed ~/.mozilla, kept .fonts.cache-1, and restarted it. I got the following ftp://ftp.thewrittenword.com/outgoing/fc/mozilla-sol9.png.with.fonts-cache Why is mozilla-sol9.png.with.fonts-cache different than mozilla-sol9.png? I''ve also uploaded snapshots of: mozilla-hpux11i.png # Looks good mozilla-irix65.png # Looks like Solaris 9 mozilla-tru64-5.png Why the odd font for IRIX 6.5 and Solaris 9? I also ran some Qt programs linked against the new fontconfig and get the same font behaviour. -- albert chin (china@thewrittenword.com)

If you can, it would be help to give the current fontconfig release candidate a try and see if it does indeed solve the problem. That is compatible with the rest of the 2.1 parts of fcpackage. -keith
I just built Mozilla 1.3 with --enable-xft against fcpackage-2.1 fontconfig/Xrender/Xft on Redhat Linux 7.1. It SEGVs on startup because I haven''t run fc-cache. Will this occur in fcpackage-2.2 as well? -- albert chin (china@thewrittenword.com)
