Always in the past, these fixme messages were unimportant. I always had 
lot's of them too.

Just thought I would also mention that if you use client side font 
rendering, there are no more cached font metrics. That hassle goes away. 
Client side rendering does require very recent versions of libfreetype 
and libxrender, though. And fonts look better, as a nice bonus.

Know that, but I have problems with fonts, so I look
into every direction I can.

Thanks for the info.

I uninstalled freetype-devel to know if my font
problems in wineconsole where due to freetype or not.
With freetype, I get very large fonts (5 centimeters
high) and without freetype I get a black window (which
responds to commands, though).
