>Description:

I have a brand new in-tree xorg setup from last night. I extracted xetc.tgz
and ran fc-cache -r. Many things work, but pkgsrc/wm/qvwm does not:

It seems to do a call like:

  fsDefault = XCreateFontSet(display, DEFAULT_FONT, &miss, &nMiss, &def);

where DEFAULT_FONT is -*-*-medium-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-* and this
causes libX to say:

Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C
Warning: X locale modifiers not supported, using default
Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset

and return a NULL fontset (while xfontsel says 324 names would match, and
fc-list finds 74 hits).

I have no LC_*, LANG or whatever related env settings. Setting LC_ALL to a
valid locale (like de_DE.ISO8859-15) does not help.

>How-To-Repeat:

Build pkgsrc/wm/qvwm and try to run it with in-tree xorg.

>Fix:
n/a

 do you have an old /etc/fonts/fonts.conf?

 i had problems with "newer" apps until i fixed the X11R6 path
 in this file.

 No, brand new from xetc.tgz.

 I can not reproduce this problem on an amd64 machine with similar (brand
 new) in-tree Xorg setup - I'll investigate.

 On sparc64 machines some bogus ifdef selects _XlcDynamicLoad as method of
 choice to get locale information - which seems to be pretty Solaris specific.
 (USE_DYNAMIC_LC instead of USE_GENERIC_LOADER or USE_DEFAULT_LOADER)
