I did find multiple references of this in trac but nothing really recent. The font/fingerprinting seems to be a large topic.

But I've got this message more often in 9.0.9 and still have it in 9.0.10. I don't recall seeing so many of them in <=9.0.8

That is because the font fingerprinting defenses in the OpenBSD port (and specifically the fonts.conf configuration file that causes this warning) are only in place since a couple of weeks ago; see CVS.

Hi Caspar, OK - thank you - I've missed that and didn't connect the dots. Thanks,
