Issue with fonts, opera-developer and xml [Solved]

I don't like very much firefox for my battlehorse browser. Because that I have installed opera-developer (better than opera IMO) through sourcery. But it does not work.

If I launch it from console I get:

Code: Select all

 $ opera-developer
Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/fonts.conf", line 162: blank doesn't take any effect anymore. please remove it from your fonts.conf
My fonts.conf looks like this:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<!-- /etc/fonts/fonts.conf file to configure system font access -->
<fontconfig>

<!--
        DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE.
        IT WILL BE REPLACED WHEN FONTCONFIG IS UPDATED.
        LOCAL CHANGES BELONG IN 'local.conf'.

  in fonts.  All other blank chars are assumed to be broken and
  won't appear in the resulting charsets

                <blank>
                        <int>0x0020</int>       <!-- SPACE -->
                        <int>0x00A0</int>       <!-- NO-BREAK SPACE -->

                </blank>
...
Line 162 is the last line of this excerpt.

I've been touching up the file /etc/fonts/fonts.conf, despite the warning in the head of the file, without success. I've also searched how edit this file (other than usual editor) but I've not find any solution.

Any idea will be very appreciated.

I answer to myself.

Unexpectedly, after cutting off the computer and starting it again, opera-developer is running now. Why? I don't know: mysteries of the informatics :shock:

fc-config probably ran during boot.

Thanks, Gapan, for your answer, but fc-config is not in my system:

Code: Select all

# which fc-config
which: no fc-config in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin)
# locate fc-config
#
Another mystery.

Oops, sorry, meant to write fc-cache!
