Description Joe Kelsey 2003-03-31 15:50:08 UTC 
	Installed latest gnome, fontconfig, pango, X 4.3, cvsup src-all,
	ports.  gnome-session will no longer start due to fontconfig
	problems.  However, I performed a truss of gnome-session and I
	can clearly see fontconfig reading all of the font-cache-1 files
	in the system.

How-To-Repeat: 	Install X4.3 from ports.
	Install Gnome2 from ports.
	Watch as gnome-session refuses to start.

It works just fine for me on two RC machines.  Problems with fontconfig not 
finding ports should have been resolved with pango 1.2.1_2.  Try running 
fc-cache -f -v.  If that doesn't work, send me the output of the previous  
command. 

In the future, it would be helpful to get a little more info (like errors,  
truss output, etc.) to aid in troubleshooting.

I can send truss output.

There is absolutely no problem with fontconfig.  I re-install it and 
pango and everything else I can think of.  I run fc-cache -f -v multiple 
times.  I manually verify the font-cache-1 files.

The truss output clearly shows *something* opening and reading every 
single one of the font-cache files, so your blithe remarks about *it 
works for me" are completely useless and do nothing to solve the very 
real problems that I experience day in and day out.

You have done nothing to help solve the multiple fontconfig problems 
appearing in the field.  fc-cache is not the solution.

This has been fixed by fontconfig 2.1.92.
