Follow-up Comment #9, bug #33241 (project xboard): after reading the strace output, which is quite cryptic to me, and considering arun's earlier suggestion, i changed the last seven sections of all font related specs into * in ~/.xboardrc. miraculously, xboard started.
the font were matched to -microsoft-cp1252 before, and it's now -iso8859-1 sorry for all the fuss i have created. anyway, although this seems to be working now, removing ~/.xboardrc totally would still result in a "Unable to create font set" error. the new strace file is here: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/390425/ _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?33241> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-XBoard mailing list Bug-XBoard@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-xboard
