I have scripts that run weekly to update my ports tree, rebuild the index, and use portupgrade to upgrade anything out of date. The last one that ran (after I finally got Xft, fontconfig, and mozilla working) upgraded Xft again and broke everything. I did a "chmod -R 0644 fonts" even though I'm pretty sure that they were all 0755 before which should be plenty generous. I didn't check every file so I can't be sure. Now debugging mozilla gives a seg fault in libfontconfig instead of libxft. I tried a "fc-cache -f -v" and I get the same. I prefer to be able to use anit-aliased fonts. I'll try to build mozilla without them or I'll try the mozilla prefs hack until somebody can come up with a logical approach to isolating and fixing the real problem. (This all started when I decided to convert my last FreeBSD box over to the portupgrade system with a massive portupgrade -afR. This always requires some massaging with pkgdb -F, but I've never had such persistent issues with a port. All of my other FreeBSD machines are very happy.) Aron -- Aron J.
