Package: gv Version: 1:3.6.1-13 Followup-For: Bug #364407
I ahve the same problem as the original reporter of this bug. Attempting to start GV produces:- $ gv magic-cauldron.ps Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-Helvetica-Medium-R-Normal--*-140-*-*-P-*-ISO8859-1" to type FontStruct Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font Segmentation fault I believe this is related to the recent upload of modular X.Org, as there are a lot of other problems I think are related, namely:- 1/ xfontsel won't start:- $ xfontsel Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font Error: Aborting: no font found 2/ xterm crashes when you Ctrl-click to bring up an on-screen menu:- $ xterm Warning: Cannot convert string "-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font Error: Aborting: no font found 3/ GNUCash crashes at startup with a font error. 4/ xcalc crashes at startup $ xcalc Warning: Cannot convert string "-adobe-symbol-*-*-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*" to type FontStruct Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font Error: Aborting: no font found And a whole load more in the same vein. My font path in X is set to:- FontPath "unix/:7100" # local font server FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/CID" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi" and the font server is running:- $ fslsfonts -server unix/:7100 | head -adobe-avant garde gothic-book-o-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 -adobe-avant garde gothic-book-o-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-15 -adobe-avant garde gothic-book-o-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-2 -adobe-avant garde gothic-book-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 -adobe-avant garde gothic-book-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-15 -adobe-avant garde gothic-book-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-2 -adobe-avant garde gothic-demi-o-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 -adobe-avant garde gothic-demi-o-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-15 -adobe-avant garde gothic-demi-o-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-2 -adobe-avant garde gothic-demi-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 $ fslsfonts -server unix/:7100 | wc -l 3631 I have the following font related packages installed:- ii msttcorefonts 1.2 Installer for Microsoft TrueType core fonts ii ttf-bitstream-vera 1.10-5 The Bitstream Vera family of free TrueType fonts ii ttf-dejavu 2.4.1-1 Bitstream Vera fonts with additional characters ii ttf-freefont 20060126b-3 Freefont Serif, Sans and Mono Truetype fonts ii x-ttcidfont-conf 21 Configure TrueType and CID fonts for X ii x11proto-fonts-dev 2.0.2-3 X11 font extension wire protocol ii xfonts-100dpi 1.0.0-2 100 dpi fonts for X ii xfonts-75dpi 1.0.0-2 100 dpi fonts for X ii xfonts-base 1.0.0-3 standard fonts for X ii xfonts-encodings 1.0.0-2 Encodings for X.Org fonts ii xfonts-scalable 1.0.0-4 scalable fonts for X ii xfonts-utils 1.0.0-3 X Window System font utility programs This is obviously not specific to gv, but I'm not really sure which component is at fault, so I'm adding my comments to this report in the hope that they'll shed some light. I suspect that the same problem is also at the root of bugs 363436, 363571 and 363664 at least.
