Re: fontconfig failure on Fedora x86_64 systems

John,

Here is a very temporary (I think) fix for the font problem:

Edit line 144 of txt-eng-ft.cc to read:
          if (match)   // && res != FcResultNoMatch)
=======================================
This causes my fontconfig to select a perfectly reasonable
font (/usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf).  There may be some
reason for the additional && res != FcResultNoMatch test, but
I do not understand why it is needed.  At least this change makes
it easier to get on with the printing problem (and I learned a little
bit about all this fltk, GL2ps, OpenGL, etc., etc., stuff...

Do you want to see the output that I get for setenv FC_DEBUG 1
after the change?  It looks a lot like what you got.
