Ive been working with this problem for a while. I have run metacity on

fc-list show that the vera fonts are install and also the free vera
fonts are installed. I do not know why. I think the fonts are the
reason for the problem but I don't know why. If anyone could it help
it would be great. Here is the strace .


I have Red Hat 7.3, and if I include the system font directories, anything using the font libraries segfaults. If I hand-edit the font config file to just use the garnome and X11 font dirs, all is well.

I went ahead and made is so the only loaded fonts were the bitstream fonts. I got the same error saying it couldn't load the bitstream font. I confirmed the font list is fc-list and it was just those fonts. Something is very weird.
