So, I've done the following (commited to CVS). On Tiger, when Inkscape is launched, after checking X11 is available, a dialog is brought up informing users of the fontconfig problem. The dialog has a button labelled "run fc-cache". If chosen, an OS X authentication dialog in launched and fc-cache is run following the authentication. A file is stored in ~/.inkscape to mark that fc-cache has been run. Thus, once you you've gone though the process it won't try this again.
Ok, good. This is exactly what I've been waiting for.
However, could you please make one small change before I merge to 0.42.1?
Instead of checking for ~/.inkscape/.fccache, check for /etc/fonts/fonts.conf directly.
There's no reason to bug them if it already exists, is there?
