unfortunately I have tried

sudo fc-cache

with absolutely no change in behaviour.

There is something else going on, but  I am completely stumped.

I have been unable to launch ethereal under MacOS 10.4 from X11 and bash
shell.

Installed using Darwinports.

Each time I launch ethereal I get the following error:

$ sudo /opt/local/bin/ethereal
No fonts found; this probably means that the fontconfig
library is not correctly configured. You may need to
edit the fonts.conf configuration file. More information
about fontconfig can be found in the fontconfig(3) manual
page and on http://fontconfig.org

Then I ran the following:

iBook:~ colya$ sudo fc-cache -f -v
fc-cache: "/usr/share/fonts": skipping, no such directory
fc-cache: "/Users/colya/.fonts": skipping, no such directory
fc-cache: succeeded

No change in behaviour.

Then I tried the suggestions at
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050502190643924

Created the directories, with no change in behaviour. Tried fc- cache again.

subsequently though I am back at the same problem as before, and attempting
to launch etheral from X11 results in the same error.

Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
