Hello Girish,

I've had similar problem[1] some time ago and it was solved since then.
Anyway, can you check your fonts.conf file? It should output something
like this:

% $ grep dir  /usr/compat/linux/etc/fonts/fonts.conf
% <!-- Font directory list -->
%         <dir>/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts</dir>
%         <dir>~/.fonts</dir>

In my case fonts are located in /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts. What about
your setup?

If that's the problem recompiling x11-fonts/linux-fontconfig should take
care of it.

Regards,

Karol
