I'm also having trouble with xclock, but I have an up-to-date fontconfig (this is a new box, so it never had a broken fontconfig): des@dwp ~% pkg_info | grep fontconf fontconfig-2.1_6 An XML-based font configuration API for X Windows The problem is that xclock ignores the "XClock*font" property and the -fn parameter, and just uses whatever font it pleases (some kind of sans-serif demibold monospace font I don't recognize). It does obey -fa (font face) like xterm, but does not support -fs (font size) and seems to be stuck at size 12 or 14 or thereabouts. Speaking of xterm, I tried using -fa / -fs instead of -fn / -fb (to get antialiasing), but the line spacing is wrong - it looks to be about 1.5. Also, the size selection in the "VT Fonts" menu seems to be out of order.
