Hi,

Maybe it fails because*both* GNUstep and GNUstep/Library have to be created

I suppose it should be created automatically?
I created manually GNUstep/Library and font cacher started withoutissuesl.

In font_cache we have this code:
paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSLibraryDirectory,
NSUserDomainMask, YES);
if ((paths != nil) && ([paths count] > 0))
{
path = [paths objectAtIndex: 0];
}
else
{
NSLog(@" No valid path for cached information exists. You ");
NSLog(@" should create ~/GNUstep/Library by hand");
return nil;
}
This makes it unlikely that the failure was in font_cache. More likely other
code in the library tried to access this directory. A stacktrace of the
exception would have helped.
Actually the issue is exactly there. I was confused, because there is a
"twin" code in XGFontManager, but font_cacher gets run first.
Essentially your warnings about creating it never exectues.
NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains returns the paths even if they do
not exist.
I added some code to extra-check, create it (and recheck if it fails...
just in case).
It is good to be kind to new users.
