Fix: FreeFontPath: FPE “unix/:7100″ refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing
I was trying to run a Xorg window system and every time in between i was getting this nasty error in between the commandlines. I am running Centos/RedhatEL
FreeFontPath: FPE "unix/:7100" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing.
I was also getting this warning while attempting to launch firefox in my server from command line.
FreeFontPath: FPE "unix/:7100" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing.
FreeFontPath: FPE "unix/:7100" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing.
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
FreeFontPath: FPE "unix/:7100" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing.
i then installed the fonts coming with Xorg with the below commandline.
yum install xorg-x11-fonts*
and after that i got no further problems and i believe this was fixed.
Another way to get rid of this error during Xvfb is specifying font path
Xvfb :1 -fp /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc -screen 0 1024x768x24 &
Hope this is useful!

In my situation too, I got the error message
“FreeFontPath: FPE “unix/:7100? refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing.”
It was because of my last backup ! I made a BIG backup for all my OS, saved in my home directory, and so my filesystem was full.
So maybe check if your filesystem isn’t full, and if it is you need a small free space to launch your kde or gnome.
P.S. you can use df commande to check

my space is OK.
I run
yum install xorg-x11-fonts*
result = OK.
But after FOREVER when I run firefox:
“FreeFontPath: FPE “/usr/share/X11/fonts/misc” refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing.”
