@Corax: he's doing this in private. Wait and see.
edit: here is the bug tracker ticker: https://www.xnview.com/mantisbt/view.php?id=1315
I've also managed to get him to fix the broken config path I mentioned before (below). The problem was using the "Program (XnView)" setting during initial set up, instead of "User (System)". It was a bug anyway, now fixed too. https://www.xnview.com/mantisbt/view.php?id=1317

@fuan_k: awesome! Did he comment about that on the forum? Can't see anything in General Support.

Good news, the xnviewmp author has looked into it and has it fixed in an upcoming version! No more fontconfig errors (just tried it myself). :D

@fuan_k: not much I can do about the font glitch I'm afraid, there's probably something wrong about how XnView uses fontconfig :/ Regarding the fontconfig breakage, I'll give it some more time before I hack the PKGBUILD. An Archer has reported the issue on the forum, we'll see how it goes: https://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?f=82&t=36326

It's funny because the fontconfig error always mentions a totally different line for each xnviewmp instance.
@Corax: thanks again for maintaining this package. It might be wise to add the workaround to the PKGBUILD (and perhaps document it in comments).
For me I found the old package in /var/cache/pacman, and I did not have 1.10.0 as I skipped an update :P.
Would it be a good idea to ask the author of XnviewMP to include his own fontconfig in the package?
I'm still trying to fix this stupid font glitch from forever ago.
Edit: I got it to work after downgrading to libfontconfig.so.1.9.4 and using this shell script:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib:$dirname/Plugins"
export QT_PLUGIN_PATH="/usr/lib:$dirname/lib:/usr/lib/qt/plugins"
export QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH="$dirname/lib/platforms/"
QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct
exec "$dirname/XnView" "$@"
Still looking for a way to preload these libs without downgrading my entire system and not segfault xnview.
Edit: I give up. For now, the font glitch is here to stay until I try again. ugh.

Corax, that fixed it.

@porzione @OldNuc: you're right, I've got exactly the same problem. To avoid having to downgrade fontconfig system-wide, the trick I'm using for now is to put the previous version of fontconfig in lib/:
$ cd /tmp
$ tar xvf /var/cache/pacman/pkg/fontconfig-2.12.5-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1.10.0
$ sudo mv usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1.10.0 /opt/xnviewmp/lib/libfontconfig.so.1
If the problem persists, I could add this kind of workaround to the PKGBUILD.

fontconfig-2.12.6-1 breaks all fonts. specifically with this error:
Fontconfig error: "/etc/fonts/fonts.conf", line 43631311: syntax error
Fontconfig error: Cannot load config file from /etc/fonts/fonts.conf

If makepkg fails because the checksum is incorrect, please flag the package out-of-date and I will update the PKGBUILD.
The PKGBUILD now references the latest versioned archive, as a result of which it should keep working if a new version is released. However, upstream sometimes updates released archives in place, in which case the checksum will fail and a manual intervention is required.
