>Description:
After upgrading to the latest version of the "fontconfig" package I can't
start "x-chat" any more on my Mac OS X system:

tron@excalibur:~>xchat
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

This system does *not* have the "ghostscript" package installed.

>How-To-Repeat:
1.) Update to latest version of the "fontconfig" package.
2.) Try to run a GTK+ 2.x application like "x-chat" or "wireshark".

>Fix:
Downgrading the "fontconfig" package fixes the problem.
