Er, OK, but I don't see how this test can work. Is configure going to (supposed to?) follow $DISPLAY to find out what version of FreeType is installed ... on the machine I happen to be using for a display at that moment? It's building a little test program on the X client (as it happens. There's no guarantee that the build box is the target X client system, either.) If Dia needs FreeType2 libraries to build -- as I'm sure she does -- OK, but the X client won't necessarily have a font server installed or anything in the font path. (I'm no expert. A lot of what I know about X fonts I learned reading this list.) Is there another variable I need to set to tell configure or Dia where to look for fonts? Or is the test really bogus and I should skip over it? FreeType2 2.1.3 installed on both the client and the server, and fc-list returns fine things on the X server box: $ fc-list |head Cooper Black:style=Regular LucidaBright:style=Italic OCR A Extended:style=Regular Utopia:style=Bold Italic Goudy Stout:style=Regular Lucida Fax:style=Demibold Arial:style=Regular Bon Apetit MT:style=Regular Lucida Bright:style=Demibold Modd:style=Regular Thanks for your interest, Lars. --jkl _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://www.lysator.liu.se/~alla/dia/faq.html Main page at http://www.lysator.liu.se/~alla/dia
