>Organization:
capmon a/s
>Environment:
FreeBSD gromit 6.2-STABLE FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE #9: Tue May 15 16:49:01 CEST 2007     root@gromit:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GROMIT  i386

>Description:
After upgrade to modular X, X11BASE was moved from /usr/X11R6 to /usr/local, and in particular fonts are now located in /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts, not /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts. However, linux-fontconfig configuration file /etc/fonts/fonts.conf contains the old reference to /usr/X11R6, and thus no fontconfig-based linux programs will not run (linux-firefox even crashes without any fontconfig fonts).

>How-To-Repeat:
Install f.ex. print/acroread7 or www/linux-firefox and run it. acroread7 complains to unavailability of fonts, whereas linux-firefox silently crashes.
>Fix:

Workaround:

- Replace /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts to /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts in /compat/linux/etc/fonts/fonts.conf.
- Run /compat/linux/usr/bin/fc-cache as root
