Hi, (this mail was already send to Keith before I discovered fontconfig mailing list :)) I''ve found a crasher in fontconfig when HOME variable is not set (it can be the case when using usermode to get root access).. I have done a patch which fixes this case and only rely on HOME variable presence when getpwuid doesn''t give any info.. -- Frederic Crozat <fcrozat@mandrakesoft.com> MandrakeSoft -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
