Hi Alban,

this is not just about closing a bug for GNUstep. If your font configuration for X is broken there really is nothing we could do about it. Even xlsfonts will fail for you, which uses very similar interfaces to font_cacher.
And if you want to avoid the use of font_cacher GNUstep offers you different ways to do so the XFT fonts for xlib or the libart backend.

The described problem is more a wrong X configuration, which GNUstep cannot help in any way. The suggested fix that GNUstep should be using xft2 patches is also rather obsolete as we already support these since backend release 0.8.6. As far as I remember this was even before fontconfig was officially available.
