When in a "conversation" window, clicking on the "Font Face" button
causes gaim-0.70 to spew the following to stderr:

** (gaim:199): WARNING **: Couldn't load font "fixed Medium Semi-Condensed
0" falling back to "Sans Medium Semi-Condensed 0"

** (gaim:199): WARNING **: Couldn't load font "Sans Medium Semi-Condensed
0" falling back to "Sans 0"

** (gaim:199): WARNING **: All font failbacks failed!!!!

...at which point the program exits.  Googling this error message points
to an improperly configured freetype2 library or fontconfig configuration.
However, as far as I can tell, there are no configuration problems on my
system: fc-list spits out 30 a number of fonts, although none that start
with "Sans" proper.

This is a brand new system, so unfortunately I'm unsure if previous
versions of GAIM have worked properly.

System: FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE + latest security patches
XFree86 4.3.0 with all stock fonts
Related ports: freetype-1.3.1_2 gettext-0.12.1 gtk-2.2.4_1 glib-2.2.3
pango-1.2.5
(from ports-current as of 10/1/2003)

If anyone has any ideas, or can at least confirm that they are
experiencing the same problem with this version of GAIM, I'd really
appreciate it.

Thanks,
Steve
