The current FreeType code relies on X providing a font path list, and on this list containing paths to TrueType and other fonts. Under RH7.3 the XFree86 supplied has the font paths specified correctly. It doesn't however, load the modules which enable XFree86 to interpret these fonts and hence XFree86 discards the paths to these fonts from the font path. Hence dia complains about not having any fonts, and the usual suspect, the font path, is not to blame.
I note that other programs which use freetype have a list of hard coded, or user supplied, font paths. Should we look at this, or do a hack by looking for an xfs configuration file (/etc/X11/fs/config) and using the chkfontpath (a RH utility) code to extract font paths? I am concious that most RH7.x users will have the same troubles I have experienced when we make a release. I'm willing to cut some code if required.
