If you are on a mac, I can recommend to use one of the unix addon
systems such as homebrew or macports (https://www.macports.org). At
least macports has fontconfig though it might be that it integrates with
X11 rather than macos.

Will look into it Andreas.  I have McClim running, but not using Truetype

From your path I'm guessing you're on mac? There is a tool called
"fontconfig" for linux. It could be that someone decided to call out
to that program, expecting it to be around. It's a guess, and I
don't have the source nor time to confirm at the moment. If someone
don't have a better suggestion it might be worth following up on.

Your suggestion to check asdf version prompted me to check version
of CL-PPCRE. It was old - I replaced it with latest version and
placed the entire cl-ppre-master folder in my home
quicklisp/local-projects/libraries folder. It solved the
“standard-optimize-settings” problem.

However, when loading McCLIM now getting an error:

NOTE:

     * McCLIM was unable to configure itself automatically using
       fontconfig. Therefore you must configure it manually.

While executing: MCCLIM-TRUETYPE::WARN-ABOUT-UNSET-FONT-PATH, in process Listener(4).

I checked for availability of truetype, and found a TTF folder
which I also copied to my Quicklisp local-projects folder. Tried
re-running load McCLIM and still shows same problem. The detailed
lisp response is below.

Again, would appreciate any advice from you or anyone else who
might help resolve.

Thanks

David

The installation is using …util.lisp from the cl-unicode folder,
different than the cl-ppcre folder. Not sure whether this is a
problem

Hi

Wondering if anybody could help with solution or advice on
installing McCLIM on macOS Mojave, running CCL under Emacs
/ Slime (Clozure Common Lisp Version 1.12-dev
(v1.12-dev.4-6-gc3b1e184) DarwinX8664).

I tried to install using Quicklisp and received error
response as below.

I am new to lisp, and heavily in learning-mode - would
appreciate any help.

Kind Regards
