Re: No font when launching a test app

[Nicolas Girard]

Well, thanks for the thoughts ! I did some progress, but the situation is
still tricky

This I already tested, unsuccessfully. I got no error during the
construction of the cache.

I decided to follow the FAQ by using the art backend. I did a first
attempt to do a
   configure --enable-graphics=art && make
which failed because of some changes in libfreetype2 (I use version
2.1.3).

I googled a little and learned that FTC_ImageDesc has been replaced 
by FTC_ImageTypeRec.

I had to modify gnustep-back-0.8.6/Source/art/ftfont.m as a
consequence ; you'll find a diff at the end of this message.

Then I succeeded in compiling gnustep-back for the use of the art backend,
removed the font cache once again and ran font_cacher.
Now, when i launch my sample NSApplication, i get a *black* window (vs
white before), still containing nothing but a grey button. The progress is
in the fact that there's now 'OK' written in light grey (hardly unreadable) in
the button...

So any additional help would be nice !
Thanks in advance,
Nicolas
