I'm wondering if anyone can help me with this? I've googled and searched the forums and haven't found any solutions to my problem.
Well I'm running.

Linux (none) 2.4.33.3 #1 Fri Sep 1 01:48:52 CDT 2006 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
Slackware 11.0.0

So kay, I did an upgrade of gtk2 from 2.8.20 to 2.18.6 and all dependencies and so on. No errors no problems. Now basically my gtk apps are broken. I'm getting these following errors.

(ROX-Filer:23937): Pango-WARNING **: failed to choose a font, expect ugly output. engine-type='PangoRenderFc', script='latin'

(ROX-Filer:23937): Pango-WARNING **: failed to choose a font, expect ugly output. engine-type='PangoRenderFc', script='common'

(ROX-Filer:23937): Pango-CRITICAL **: _pango_cairo_font_map_get_renderer: assertion `PANGO_IS_CAIRO_FONT_MAP (fontmap)' failed


(xchat:24219): Pango-WARNING **: failed to choose a font, expect ugly output. engine-type='PangoRenderFc', script='latin'

(xchat:24219): Pango-WARNING **: failed to choose a font, expect ugly output. engine-type='PangoRenderFc', script='common'

Gftp, xchat same errors and so on, but gtklxsplit doesn't show any errors. I've tried reinstalling pango, and using older versions of pango and so on. The pango-querymodules > /etc/pango/pango.modules I tried that, and fc-cache. Symbolic links (ln -s usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts /usr/share/fonts and /usr/local/share/fonts) because I didn't have the fonts directory in /usr/share or /usr/local/share. I even reinstalled some gtk apps no luck. I get the same errors in firefox though the fonts are funny looking, but readable not little boxes. There the same fonts I get when I run pango-view. I don't even have those fonts on my system. I guess my question is how can I fix this, or even how can I get it to stop trying to render fonts I don't have to some fonts I do have. Oh! yeah! pango version 1.26.2.

...Fonts...
What distro?
There should be a GTK file or program somwhere (sorry, dont know where) maybe you can set the font path.
I have had my own share of font troubles today.
fc-cache -f may fix it also.

.gtkrc.mine
### Gtk Fonts

style "user-font"
{
font_name="Courier"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"
gtk-font-name="Courier 10"


fc-list |grep -i courier

Courier:style=Bold Italic
Courier:style=Regular
Courier 10 Pitch:style=Bold Italic
Courier:style=Oblique
Courier 10 Pitch:style=Italic
Courier:style=Bold Oblique
Courier 10 Pitch:style=Regular
Courier:style=Italic
Courier 10 Pitch:style=Bold
Courier:style=Bold


Well actually fc-cache -f -v as root.

A quick google seach came up with http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=73863

Thanks, but I've seen this post it didn't help.

I've actually edited my /etc/X11/xorg.conf to add that the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF to the path. I tried what was in that post still nothing.

I figured out my problem. I never actually installed the gtk upgrade. Pango was actually compiled without cairo support.

Now when I try to compile fontconfig 2.8.0 I'm getting these errors.
No space left on device?
