[Fwd: Re: [Wine] Dead keyboard]

[Jose Young]

I arrived home late last night, but tried running wineboot. It took 
around 3 seconds to write out the following, and that was it:

Fontconfig error: "~/.fonts.conf", line 2: not well-formed (invalid token)

I looked at .fonts.conf, and have no idea what the problem could be with 
the second line.

<fontconfig>
<match target="font" >
<edit name="autohint" mode="assign" >
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>

Anyway, wineboot didn't do very much, and later this afternoon when I 
have some free time I will check into the links you mention in your 
other note.

Again, thanks.
