I don't have a X font server (xfs) running on my system (xfs was removed from Mandriva and Mandriva-forked distros years ago). FYI I also compiled my own fontconfig, using the latest version (in case it would have been a fontconfig bug in PCLInuxOS's older version), to no avail. So far, I just cannot explain why freetype v2.7 is not working properly with PCF fonts in my system... I guess I'd have to diff the v2.6.5 and v2.7.1 releases and see what changed that could explain this issue... But I don't have time to do so, so I just reverted to v2.6.5 and will stick with it forever (or till someone else fixes the bug), I guess...
