Tried the PEMonitor -Cannot find any special process that's got something to do
with font-loading.
Tried with original fonts.conf & reset Preferences. Result: fonts load OK, work
OK.
Put back edited fonts.conf file.Fonts loaded & work OK. 
Settings: Single Windows, Tool Options: Add Tab, Fonts. 
Usage: Pick font from fonts list prior to typ[ing text, or type text, select
text,pick font from fonts list.
That's all I can come up with. 
This concludes my involvement with this topic.
best regards,
