John,
I did all of the rebuild and reinstall steps you suggested, plus
installing all of the pango programs I could see.
I went ahead and created a .font.conf file in my home folder and wrote
"<dir>/System/Library/Fonts/<dir>" in it, without the "" marks, pressed
return, and then saved it.
I then restarted my computer. When I tried to boot pcb, I got the
message:
Fontconfig error: "~/.fonts.conf", line 3: no element found
After about a minute it loaded. I tried gschem and again got the message:
Fontconfig error: "~/.fonts.conf", line 3: no element found
Gschem loaded right away and now pcb loads right away.
Thanks to your help (and Stuart's), I got both programs running again,
but I am obviously leaving something out of the .font.conf file or it is
in the wrong place. Any suggestions? Sorry, if I am speaking "newbees."
Dave
