Hi emacs-devel,

I am using emacs from git repository on freebsd 7.2, my emacs-version is

GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (i386-unknown-freebsd7.2, GTK+ Version 2.16.6) of
2009-11-19 on XXXXXXXX

Since a few update, emacs fail to set the font correctly.
Version with git sha1 f34054625d13c909e139d997e16cfd2fd1331954 works well,
last version with sha1 6d7606fc7ec746fdfbf016d83ffbc93781b8a0a0 fail with
the following error

Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file
GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes
are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale
NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for
information. (Details -  1: Failed to get connection to session: Failed to
execute dbus-launch to autolaunch D-Bus session)

My font and backend are set using ~/.Xressources by lines
Emacs.font: Liberation Mono-13
Emacs*FontBackend: xft,x

dbus, hald and gconfd-2 daemon are running.

I tried cleaning ~/.gconf and ~/.gconfd and it did not work

Thanks in advance,
Damien

This usually means that your ORBit configuration has been corrupted.  You can 
configure Emacs --without-gconf util you figure out what is wrong with your 
system.  I'm not sure if that takes care of the Fontconfig error.
