Parent Message unknown No fonts after Leopard upgrade

Hi,
I've upgraded a computer that already had Fink to Leopard. I've then  
upgraded also Fink (0.27.7).
Now if I try something (that seems to be installed) like gcalctool or  
kcalc I get this message:

"Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file
No fonts found; this probably means that the fontconfig
library is not correctly configured. You may need to
edit the fonts.conf configuration file. More information
about fontconfig can be found in the fontconfig(3) manual
page and on http://fontconfig.org"

Fontconfig is installed (I've installed it again just now).

Any workaround, please?

Thanks in advance!

Salvo M.

Consulting my personal archive:

It may have something to do with having to remove fontconfig-path,
which sets the FONTCONFIG_FILE environment variable.  Check if that is
still set.

I show it as being set by /sw/etc/profile.d/fontconfig-path.sh (or
.csh).  See if "fink purge fontconfig-path" will remove these files.
If not "sudo dpkg -P fontconfig-path" should do it.
