I am getting an error reported many times on this list. Various apps (lilypond and pan are the two so far, though there are more, I'm sure) report during startup:

Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file

This is followed either by failed start-up or crap output. I am aware of the FAQ question that suggests calling 'sudo fc-cache' to fix this problem. This doesn't work for me. When I try that I get

spamguy:~ spamguy$ sudo fc-cache
Password:
Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file

i.e., same error. Doing 'ls /etc/fonts' shows the file is at least there, but having peeked in I can say I have no idea what to tweak, if anything. I have tried reinstalling all fontconfig packages with no success. Help!

Best,

I have to smile and remember
when you accuse me of that smell
