Hi,
SUSE Linux 10.1 contains fontconfig 2.3.94, which changed the FcPatternGetString() function from return path names to return only the filenames.
We received this bugreport: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=179457
However, Bernd Rosenkraenzer reported this problem already and the change was reverted for fontconfig 2.3.95.
Its just that it might be broken only in SL 10.1 (perhaps fixed with online update, still in discussion).
So this is just a heads-up, if more bugreports should appear.
Ciao, Marcus
