[HELP] fonts/local.conf

[Miranda]

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

How do I fix this?

[Selur]

No, details -> No, clue
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)

I'm on Mac OS Big Sur. The message appears 4 times during the app launching.

[Selur]

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:

<fontconfig>
<dir>/Users/selur/Library/Application Support/Hybrid/fonts</dir>
<cachedir>/Users/selur/Library/Application Support/Hybrid/fontconfig/cache</cachedir>
</fontconfig>

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

[Selur]

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.

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>

[Selur]

try:

<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:

<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">

[Selur]

try adding

<?xml version="1.0"?>

in the first line.
