xchat can't find fonts?

about a week ago I seriously foobared my box so rather than spending all that time tracking things down (yes I'm lazy) I just wiped and reinstalled.  I had my 0.4 iso laying around so I threw that in and then just used pacman to grab all the packages I had before.  However, now when I try to start xchat I get an error I've never come across using any distro.

[deepfreeze@protium deepfreeze]$ xchat
No fonts found; this probably means that the fontconfig
library is not correctly configured. You may need to
edit the fonts.conf configuration file. More information
about fontconfig can be found in the fontconfig(3) manual
page and on http://fontconfig.org
[deepfreeze@protium deepfreeze]$

I have read through the /etc/fonts/fonts.conf file and all the directories it points to seem to have fonts in them...so my question is what have I done and where do I look to go about fixing it? :oops:

Re: xchat can't find fonts?

fc-cache then fc-cache -v did the trick.   Thank you very much for the guidance!
