LANG is en_US.UTF-8 and so are the rest of the LC_
variables, however, I''ve noted that the error doesn''t
change if these are changed to let''s say LANG=C, or
something else.

Also, the error goes away if I set the following
environment variable, GDK_USE_XFT=0, though
understandably.

I''d like to mention here that the binary for the
executable has been made using GTK+ libraries built
with the enable-xft option OFF, and I''m trying to run
the executable on a system that has GTK+ rpm''s that
have a linkage with Xft and fontconfig. Though, I''ll
be surprised if this should matter.
