Re: gEDA-user: gschem and pcb stopped loading.

John,
	Thanks for the reply!  I am working on all of the rebuilding and 
reinstalling.  I am uncertain about step 4.  Where is the .fonts.conf 
file located?  I looked in my home folder and I do not have one there.
	Also,  is the last "<" symbol in step 4 in the wrong place?  Should it 
be, "<dir>/System/Library/Fonts/<dir>"?
	Thanks for the help.

Dave
