Hello List, I've managed to run skype using cyrillic letters with -f8- infrastructure ports only after running a linux fc-cache. It creats its own /compat/linux/var/cache files (but uses FreeBSD font files from /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts). Hence we face an incompatible fontconfig files from different fontconfig versions. Only linux -f10- fontconfig is compatible with current FreeBSD fontconfig (2.6.0). It seems to me that the best way to go is to populate $LINUXBASE/var/cache when installing linux fontconfig and remove it when deinstalling. As for -f10- linux ports we may use a native fontconfig cache files until new version starts to be incompatible. What do you think?
