I haven't tried to compile Pango w/o -D_REENTRANT and mini-xft
with it but I do get no glyphs displayed (although the fonts
are found) if I omit -D_REENTRANT in mini-xft and define it for
Pango. It does confuse me too. I think what happens is that if
minixftcache.c gets compiled without -D_REENTRANT and uses the
wrong errno variable, but I can't see why this would result in
lots of empty glyphs.


Salut, Sven
