I'm getting numerous messages saying fonts/local.conf needs to be adjusted to current environment.

How do I fix this?
No, details -> No, clue Smile
What OS are you on?
When do you get those messages?
Does it cause any problems in Hybrid? (in case it does read the sticky and provide a debug output)

Cu Selur
I'm on Mac OS Big Sur. The message appears 4 times during the app launching.
Okay, probably when mencoder&mplayer versions are checked.
Is there a popup or similar form the OS or does the message only appear inside the terminal,...
What do the messages say exactly?
What is the content of the file atm. ?

I checked inside my vm and here /Users/selur/Library/Application Support/Hybrid/fonts/local.conf contains:
Code:
<fontconfig>
<dir>/Users/selur/Library/Application Support/Hybrid/fonts</dir>
<cachedir>/Users/selur/Library/Application Support/Hybrid/fontconfig/cache</cachedir>
</fontconfig>

Cu Selur
Only during the application start-up - no Mac OS errors.

/Users/*****/Library/Application Support/Hybrid/fonts/local.conf it needs to be adjusted manually to current environment!


In Library/Application Support/Hybrid/fonts/

I have these two files:

fonts.conf
local.conf
Okay, that happens if /Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Application Support/Hybrid/fonts/local.conf couldn't be found or created.
-> you probably have to create it yourself, since Hybrid for some reason doesn't have the rights to do so.
Since you are on a Mac:
a. make sure to put Hybrid in the /Applications/-folder otherwise MacOS will restrict it
b. make sure to change the temp path to something that actually exists and isn't some virtual sandbox.

Cu Selur
Hybrid is already in Applications.

I checked the path and the file is there - I guess it is the Mac security settings are not allowing Hybrid to see fonts/local.conf ?

What should be in the fonts/local.conf file? It is currently:

<cachedir>/Users/*****/Library/Application Support/Hybrid/fontconfig/cache</cachedir>
try:
Code:
<fontconfig>
<dir>/Users/*****/Library/Application Support/Hybrid/fonts</dir>
<cachedir>/Users/*****/Library/Application Support/Hybrid/fontconfig/cache</cachedir>
</fontconfig>
that's what it looks like on my BigSur VM system and I don't get the eroor.

Mine is the same, but at the top is:

Code:
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
try adding
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
in the first line.
