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.
