On my system, date returns "fév" for february. The accent makes libxml shout "invalid xml" and fontconfig does not initialize. The fix is simple: # # $XFree86: xc/lib/fontconfig/setfontdirs,v 1.4 2002/08/01 16:17:33 keithp Exp $ # -LANG=C -export LANG +LC_ALL=C +export LC_ALL FONTDIRS=fontdirs$$ trap "rm $FONTDIRS" 0 sh ./findfonts ${1+"$@"} > $FONTDIRS
Current CVS already has this fix.
Ah, sorry me, I should have checked that. I did not thought latest garnome fontconfig was not so fresh ;-) Cheers
