I have installed X11-2.3.0_rc3, and I've noticed that fontconfig does not see any of my local fonts in ~/Library/Fonts. This was probably true in earlier version too. The relevant lines of /usr/X11/lib/X11/fontconfig/fonts.conf are: <!-- Font directory list --> <dir>/usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts</dir> <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts</dir> <dir>~/.fonts</dir> <!-- and in /usr/X11/lib/X11/fontconfig/conf.d/05-osx-fonts.conf: <fontconfig> <dir>/System/Library/Fonts</dir> <dir>/Library/Fonts</dir> </fontconfig> So either the ~/.fonts entry of fonts.conf should be replaced by ~/ Library/Fonts, or ~/.fonts should be removed and ~/Library/Fonts added to 5-osx-fonts.conf. Also, since /usr/X11R6 is a symbolic link to /usr/X11, all of the X11 fonts are being cached twice. The /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts entry should probably be deleted. Otherwise, I haven't had any issues with 2.3.0-rc3 that haven't been mentioned previously. Martin
