I used to be able to run acroread on my FreeBSD 6.0 laptop. Recently, trying to start acroread gives me the following error: > acroread No fonts found; this probably means that the fontconfig library is not correctly configured. You may need to edit the fonts.conf configuration file. More information about fontconfig can be found in the fontconfig(3) manual page and on http://fontconfig.org I checked the fonts.conf file to make sure that the paths make sense. /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts does indeed contain my X11 fonts. It is listed twice in fonts.conf, is this a problem? I ran fc-cache -v to build the fonts cache. It returned a write error when running as a non-root user for the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts directory, which seems logical to me. The then ran fc-list and it kicked out a very long list of fonts. fc-cache -V shows fontconfig version 2.3.2 What do I need to do to be able to run acrobat again? thank you Lee
