Hello List,


I've managed to run skype using cyrillic letters with
-f8- infrastructure ports only after running a linux
fc-cache. It creats its own /compat/linux/var/cache
files (but uses FreeBSD font files from /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts).

Hence we face an incompatible fontconfig files from
different fontconfig versions. Only linux -f10-
fontconfig is compatible with current FreeBSD
fontconfig (2.6.0).

It seems to me that the best way to go is to populate
$LINUXBASE/var/cache when installing linux fontconfig
and remove it when deinstalling. As for -f10- linux
ports we may use a native fontconfig cache files until
new version starts to be incompatible.

What do you think?


WBR
