Great, all we need to figure a solution now on a right target. ;-)

Oops, I was looked at the wrong terminal window (only knew about freetype2  
change but not fontconfig). :-) Yeah, MC does has fontconfig change. Must  
be cache issue just like before. Let me try to dig in the archives and see  
if I can find old thread about fontconfig as my memory is pretty fuzzy  
with this. Not sure if it's possible to use Linux's fc-cache to have  
seperate cache or have to force Linux's fontconfig to be upgraded.

I just remember that I am a person that reported this bug when someone  
updated fontconfig.

No idea, I am no expert and no knowledge about what kernel should and  
shouldn't.

Cheers,
