[SOLVED] VMWare unable to start after system upgrade.

Hi, VMware fails to start after performing a system upgrade. The log is here.
From what I noticed, the problem seems to come from fontconfig where it wouldn't use the shipped version of the library. If it uses the system version, it wouldn't start.

I've tried the instructions from the Arch Linux VMware page and also downgrade fontconfig (it works but breaks everything else).

Does anyone has this problem too and is able to solve it?

Thank you.

Additional info:
uname -r

4.15.14-1-ARCH

Fixed the problem.

This may only happen if you installed VMware from the bundle. I installed VMware again but this time from AUR and now it works perfectly.
