debugging font problems

[Dan McMahill <mcmahill mtl mit edu>]

I recently updated everything (fontconfig, glib, atk, pango, gtk, etc)
on my solaris-9 box with openwin.  Now I can longer get any fonts to
display in gtk2 programs.  Not even the gtk-demo program.  So until
I can fix this, I can't write gtk programs anymore and use them!

I've re-run fc-cache with 'fc-cache -f -v' to make sure it completes
as it has in the past.  Then I tried running the gtk-demo program
on both the solaris-9 box and a NetBSD/alpha box.  What I found is:


client                  Xserver         Result
------                  -------         -------
gtk-demo,               Solaris-9,      seems ok
NetBSD/alpha            openwin


gtk-demo,               Solaris-9,      no fonts
Solaris-9/sparc         openwin


gtk-demo,               Win XP          seems ok
NetBSD/alpha            X/deep


gtk-demo,               Win XP,         seems ok
Solaris-9/sparc         X/deep

gtk1 programs           Solaris-9       all are fine
on any machine          openwin

so there seems to be something about the client and
X server being on the solaris box.

Any suggestions on how to debug whats going on?  

I'm using version 2.6.4 of gtk2, 2.3.0 of fontconfig, pango-1.8.1,
not sure what other versions are of use.

Thanks
-Dan
