Glynn,

I have tried but both -l and -L don't report anything (any more).

Doing a bit of debugging, I found that num_fonts is zero in
print_font_list() at:

  for (i = 0; i < num_fonts; i++)

But
wc -l $GISBASE/etc/fontcap
268 /home/neteler/soft/63grass_cvsexp/dist.i686-pc-linux-gnu/etc/fontcap

The debugger doesn't step into read_freetype_fonts(), not sure why (maybe
due to my lack of knowledge of ddd/gdb).

I didn't run "make distclean" if that matters.
