I realised that PCFP is being called from the oflbTypeface.php and so
needs the full path to actually be called. Problem solved, hah - the
PNGs are now generated, but not properly:

http://testvm.openfontlibrary.org/content/admin/2//PT%20Sans%20Caption_1.png

Again, this is a FontConfig issue, I think.

The GCFP interactive setter still is broken on

http://testvm.openfontlibrary.org/files/admin/2

and

http://testvm.openfontlibrary.org/files

I see with FireFox 3.6 at the bottom of the /files page an error
message appear, which is inserted into the DOM by some Javascript, and
that the GCFP DIV doesn't appear when the images are clicked.

    SyntaxError: Badly formed JSON string: ''

So I am guessing that this is Fontaine breakage, since that works with
JSON strings. Chromium doesn't how the error, and the DIV pops up, but
the text preview PNG is a broken URL.

Okay, gotta sleep :-)

Cheers
