Font problem

["J. Davison de St. Germain" <dav cs utah edu>]

Hi,

  Perhaps it would be easier to use the older system version of gtk.
We have tried using it, but whenever we run our application, it
freezes for 5-10 minutes, then crashes with this error:

No fonts found; this probably means that the fontconfig
library is not correctly configured. You may need to
edit the fonts.conf configuration file. More information
about fontconfig can be found in the fontconfig(3) manual
page and on http://fontconfig.org

I've browsed the lists and google, and tried some of the suggestions
on how to get the fonts to show up, but I've had no success.  I have a
~/.fonts.conf file.  A .fonts.cache-1 file is created with:

"/usr/local/lib/pango/1.2.0/modules" 0 104269593 ".dir"

in it.  That dir has a lot of what I guess must be fonts (bunch of
.so's) 

  Any help with this would be much appreciated.  Again this is running
on an IRIX SGI system.  

   Thanks,
          Dave
