SourceForge policy is against Reply-To: munging.

I prefer Reply-To: munging for mailing lists (but don't want to start
discussing it further here), but it's best if this list behaves like
the other SourceForge lists.

What version of libxslt are you using?  For libxslt-1.0.17,
'xslt-config --cflags' includes '-I/usr/local/include/libxml2', which
is why builing xmlroff works for me.

It appears that fontconfig and PDFlib aren't agreeing on what
constitutes a font.

That should work.

Did you try reducing xmlroff.fo so there's only one fo:block and
experimenting with the font-family, font-weight, and font-style
properties.  While you're using an FO file with multiple font-family,
etc., it's hard to tell which one is causing a problem.

Break on PDF_findfont() to see what font names are being passed to
PDFlib.

What does the 'fc-list' command show?  'fc-list' lists all the fonts
that the fontconfig library knows about, although I don't find its
output tells you all that much.

'xmlroff -d2 xmlroff.fo' or 'xmlroff -d8 xmlroff.fo' will give you a
lot of information, but will still only show the font-family names
used in the xmlroff.fo file.
