GNOME and Java Desktop Woes
There must be something wrong with the gnume installation part on my Sol 10 box.
Everytime I try to run a gtk based app it says
% gtk-demo
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 suspect that is the reason that when I try the Java Desktop logon session it just aborts it (after a brief display of the splash screen) back to the the dt logon screen.
Does anyone know how to use fontconfig for the fonts?
Mind you that I installed everything off of the Sol 10 CDs.
Thanks!

fc-match
FC-MATCH(1) FC-MATCH(1)
NAME
fc-match - match available fonts
SYNOPSIS
fc-match [ -asvVh ] [ --all ] [ --sort ] [ --verbose ] [ [ -f format ] [ --format format ] ] [ --version ] [ --help ]
[ pattern [ element... ] ]
DESCRIPTION
fc-match matches pattern (empty pattern by default) using the normal fontconfig matching rules to find the best font available. If --sort
is given, the sorted list of best matching fonts is displayed. The --all option works like --sort except that no pruning is done on the
list of fonts.
If any elements are specified, only those are printed. Otherwise short file name, family, and style are printed, unless verbose output is
requested.
OPTIONS
This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included
below.
-a Displays sorted list of best matching fonts, but do not do any pruning on the list.
-s Displays sorted list of best matching fonts.
-v Print verbose output of the whole font pattern for each match, or elements if any is provided.
-f Format output according to the format specifier format.
-V Show version of the program and exit.
-h Show summary of options.
pattern
Displays fonts matching pattern (uses empty pattern by default).
element
If set, the element property is displayed for matching fonts.
