Tried that: got:

Seems like a library is out of phase somewhere....?
Which version of the fontconfig and freetype2 packages do you have installed? Which version of SuSE Linux is this?

OK, looks like you have the original packages. Then I don't know, it should work.

Should look like this on your system (only that you probably have this
stuff in /usr/lib instead of /usr/lib64, because I tried this on a AMD
64 bit machine):

If you problem doesn't go away after running
ldconfig
as root, I have no idea what could be wrong.

Ok....even weirder...I just executed the same command in the same font dir and it works now. I hate this. I used to like computers because the were reliable, predictable -- they didn't change their behavior based on what day it is or whatever....This isn't the logical behavior I'd expect from an M5...er, x86... whatever... Now I just have to figure out the rest of it....it might be helpful if the manpage referenced on "fc-cache" : SEE ALSO fontconfig(3) __vendorversion__ FC-CACHE(1) "fontconfig" actually existed. Somehow it didn't get installed on my system. Looks like the font config package went out a bit hurriedly as the forgot to replace __vendorversion__ with a real version, as well. Is that it though? I just run that and xft should pick up the new fonts? I assume I have to reload it or restart it?...Thanks ....for getting me through the weird library problem....I ran some general verify scripts that looked for missing non-local related files and if it found them, try to restore them, but I got a few errors on restores -- of course the script did't list out the package it was processing on one rpm where it ran out of input data...weird.. -linda
Update -- it really did NOT WORK, last night -- I wasn't running as root. fc-cache has a bug that it issues no error message when run by a non-root user and can't write the files. When run by root, it still issues the same error message. :-( -linda
I don't know if this is of any use in tracing down the problem, but I
have an "ltrace" of an attempted run below:
