And your blithe "it doesn't work" bug reports are helping?

I'm open to suggestions.  I'm one guy, working for nothing, with a real
job, doing my best to help hundreds of users.  I can't reproduce the
problem locally, so what do you expect me to do?  Wave a magic wand and
conjure up a solution?  I need more information!

Do this, set FC_DEBUG to 1023 in your environment, then run startx. 
Send me the output.  You might also try removing ~/.fonts-cache-1, too.
