[Paraview] ParaView 5.2 Release Candidate 1 available for download

[Albina, Frank]

All,

I have been having similar issue when compiling ParaView 5.1.2 from source with QT4 support, which depends on the fontconfig project. 
I could get rid of it by setting FONTCONFIG_PATH to /etc/fonts on my system.

HTH.

Frank.

This is due to the way we now package fontconfig. We used to have it just use the (non-existent) config files from the package, so you got crappy fonts usually. Now, we use the system configuration and you should get the same fonts as the system, but it seems that we probably need to update our fontconfig. Other than that, the messages are harmless as far as we've been able to tell.

Yeah, not sure how to fix this; I had tried putting them into /var/cache like the system, but it seems that that flag is insufficient :( .
