[SOLVED] Fontconfig warning: "local.conf"

Hello Folks,
every software I run from the terminal shows me a long list of the same message, before to run.
Here an example:

Re: [SOLVED] Fontconfig warning: "local.conf"

Hello
I suggest that you first try to solve your issue by yourself:
have you really not any idea what to look at to begin with?

Then post in details what you've done and what you've searched. We can only help you, not do things for you.

Re: [SOLVED] Fontconfig warning: "local.conf"

Then , I solved deleting the file and reinstalling fontconfig.

Byt he way, I do not post in the forum to be joked, if you mean to answer in such a way, better do not post at all.

Thanks

Re: [SOLVED] Fontconfig warning: "local.conf"

Congratulations: you found that the local.conf file had a problem and that maybe the fontconfig package needs a re-installation (but why?).
Keep cool it's not a big issue. Be happy!
Cheers.
