It seems you are running the obsolete Xaw build without having the

Hi,
When i start xboard from my terminal, i get :
xboard
Kan geen lettertypenset aanmaken voor
-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,-*-*-*-*-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*.
.
and nothing is displayed.!
I am using version :
xboard --version
xboard version 4.9.1
configure options: prefix=/usr; datarootdir=/usr/share;
datadir=/usr/share; gamedatadir=/usr/share/games/xboard;
desktopdir=/usr/share/applications; mimedir=/usr/share/mime/packages;
iconsdir=/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps;
svgiconsdir=/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps;
infodir=/usr/share/info; sysconfigdir=; update_mimedb=yes; NLS=yes;
GTK=no; Xaw3d=no; Xaw=yes; ptys=pipes; zippy=yes; sigint=yes
