Is anyone successfully using print/acroread7? When I invoke it, I get
a lot of gdkpixbuf errors such as these:
(acroread:8282): GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: Error loading XPM image loader: Image type 'xpm' is not supported
(acroread:8282): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: file gobject.c: line 1319 (g_object_ref): assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
culminating in
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 see nothing obviously wrong with my configuration; I ran fc-cache
and /usr/pkg/emul/linux/usr/bin/fc-cache to make sure that all font
caches were up to date.
I should note that I'm experiencing this on -current with xorg.
It's becoming rather critical to get acroread7 working. acroread5 has
some new security holes; Adobe's suggested fix is to switch to
acroread7.
