Well, thanks for the thoughts ! I did some progress, but the situation
is
still tricky

Did you see any errors when the font cache was being made? Perhaps you
can remove the :0.0 file and try running it on it's own:
font_cacher
This I already tested, unsuccessfully. I got no error during the
construction of the cache.
Also see the FAQ entry for this and see if any of that might apply to
you:
http://www.gnustep.org/information/userfaq_1.html#SEC30
I decided to follow the FAQ by using the art backend. I did a first
attempt to do a
configure --enable-graphics=art && make
which failed because of some changes in libfreetype2 (I use version
2.1.3).
I googled a little and learned that FTC_ImageDesc has been replaced
by FTC_ImageTypeRec.
I had to modify gnustep-back-0.8.6/Source/art/ftfont.m as a
consequence ; you'll find a diff at the end of this message.
Then I succeeded in compiling gnustep-back for the use of the art
backend,
removed the font cache once again and ran font_cacher.
Now, when i launch my sample NSApplication, i get a *black* window (vs
white before), still containing nothing but a grey button. The
progress is
in the fact that there's now 'OK' written in light grey (hardly
unreadable) in
the button...
