Fontconfig warning / "blank" in fonts.conf

Hello, "Fontconfig warning: line 145: blank doesn't take any effect anymore. please remove it from your fonts.conf" 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 Just a quick check, is it worth opening a new bug? or is that largely known. Platform is OpenBSD-current but this fonts.conf is the same in the linux build so I doubt it's specific to that platform. Thanks. Regards, -- clematis (0xA2C87EDB507B4C53)

It's a still open bug: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/22787 (no need to file a new one). Georg
Thanks. Regards,

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.
