Re: Uninitialized variable "path" in XGFontManager

[Nicola Pero]

Thanks!

I applied a patch to CVS (freeze-0_7_0 branch) to fix this.  I added code
which not only logs the problem, but attempts to create the missing
directory as well - so that we get the application running and hopefully
also the fonts right.

thanks for your contribution
