About an annoying font warning

Hi,
I met an annoying bug every time I try to open paraview. It showed me something like that:
Fontconfig warning: “/etc/fonts/fonts.conf”, line 160: blank doesn’t take any effect anymore. please remove it from your fonts.conf
Of course I think it is not a very big issue and I can use paraview without any problem, but it seems annoying.
I using Debian 9.9 and Paraview 5.6.1.

Best wishes.

Ben

Hi Ben. Welcome to the ParaView community.

I have seen fonts.conf warnings like this, and was told it had to do with my local LAN’s system. Anyway, the sollution I use is to create a paraview script file, which calls the main paraview with the following:

/pathToParaView/paraview |& grep -v Fontconfig

Ahaha, I see your solution. That’s a really good way to ignore warnings.

This is because we build our ParaView binaries with a newer version of fontconfig. Your system has an older one installed which provides a configuration file using older syntax. The warnings are about that configuration file using older syntax.

Ok, I understood. Thanks for your help!

Best wishes!
