Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file

I downloaded Calibre 0.6.5 again and it converts without any errors using that version. I have latest OS X 10.6.4.

Let me know if there is a debug tool to run for reporting.

Thanks,
Jay

Run the conversion from the command line. Go to Preferences->Advanced->Install command line tools then in Terminal.app use the command

ebook-convert file.pdf output.epub -vv

and post the output

Actually, just wait for 0.7.8 released in the next 24 hours or so which should fix this.

Just verified that 0.7.8 resolved the issue. Thanks for the great tool!
