it is a font problem, but i don' t know if it is a misconfigured file or a
bug (it would suprise me)

I just installed the 4.3.0 release (from cvs, xf-4_3_0 tag)
no error at compilation or at install
I didn ' t  change the /etc/fonts/fonts.conf file so it contains :

<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts</dir>
 <dir>/usr/share/fonts</dir>
 <dir>~/.fonts</dir>

so the problem is when I run an xterm -fa "Courier" (example taken from
docs), it causes a Out Of Memory linux kernel error, though I have 256 MB of
memory.
If i change /etc/fonts/fonts.conf and I put only Type1 (by example),
problems disappear
and fc-cache works without parameter and xterm -fa "Courier" too

I didn' t install any other fonts than which from X4.3 itself
fc-cache cause problem when I run it without argument
when I run with a font directory, it works

Is it a bug ?or a misconfigured xft ?
What font directories should I and should I not put in fonts.conf  ?


here s the result for each of my font directory (these created by make
install)

fc-cache: "100dpi": skipping, 397 fonts, 0 dirs
fc-cache: "75dpi": skipping, 397 fonts, 0 dirs
fc-cache: "CID": caching, 0 fonts, 0 dirs
fc-cache: "Speedo": skipping, 0 fonts, 0 dirs
fc-cache: "TTF": skipping, 12 fonts, 0 dirs
fc-cache: "Type1": skipping, 29 fonts, 0 dirs
fc-cache: "cyrillic": caching, 0 fonts, 0 dirs
fc-cache: "encodings": skipping, 0 fonts, 1 dirs
fc-cache: "encodings/large": skipping, 0 fonts, 0 dirs
fc-cache: "local": skipping, 0 fonts, 0 dirs
fc-cache: "misc": skipping, 55 fonts, 0 dirs
fc-cache: "util": skipping, 0 fonts, 0 dirs


and here is my X config file (path section)

Section "Files"
 RgbPath      "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
 ModulePath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules"
 FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/"
 FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/"
 FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/"
 FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
 FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local"
 FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType"
 FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID"
 FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo"
  FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic"
  FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF"
EndSection

so before make install, the file fonts.conf doesnn't seem to be usable
before a little tweak
