Re: pango_font_map_load_font returning NULL when trying to create with ft2 fontmap

[PRADEEP BOTU <pradeep botu samsung com>]

 i have downloaded fontconfig from this link "http://www.gtk.org/download-windows.html";

fontconfig-dev-2.4.2-tml-20071015/bin directory i found four exe files.

when i ran fc-cache.exe, it is giving error "cannot load default file".

whether fonts.conf is only for linux or for windows also.

may be its not able get fonts.conf.  

thanks,
pradeep.

Where did you get the fontconfig for Windows from? Did it come with
the fc-cache, fc-cat and fc-list programs? Try using them. Read their
manual pages and compare what they do on Linux. (Yes, it is
practically essential to have a Linux (or other Unix) system to
compare to when developing using software ported from Unix to
Windows.)

Is there an etc/fonts/fonts.conf file in your fontconfig installation
location? (I.e., if you have libfontconfig-1.dll in a folder foo\bin,
os fonts.conf in foo\etc\fonts ?)
