Package: gv Version: 1:3.7.1-1 Severity: normal When I use gv to view a PostScript file I get the following warning messages:
software@raven> gv x01c.psc Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-Helvetica-Medium-R-Normal--*-140-*-*-P-*-ISO8859-1" to type FontStruct Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-Helvetica-Medium-R-Normal--*-120-*-*-P-*-ISO8859-1" to type FontStruct Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-Helvetica-Medium-R-Normal--*-100-*-*-P-*-ISO8859-1" to type FontStruct Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-Helvetica-Bold-R-Normal--*-120-*-*-P-*-ISO8859-1" to type FontStruct x01c.ps is one of the standard PostScript files produced by PLplot, but the warnings happen for all of them. I believe this must be a fairly recent regression for Debian testing because I tend to use gv extensively every month or so as part of a larger test project for PLplot , and I have never noticed these warning messages before. Google searches for these types of warning messages turned up rather old advice to install xfonts-100dpi and gsfonts-x11. I have done that, but the warning messages persist. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gv depends on: ii dpkg 1.15.8.8 Debian package management system ii ghostscript-x 8.71~dfsg2-6.1 The GPL Ghostscript PostScript/PDF ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-6 Manage installed documentation in ii libc6 2.11.2-7 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libx11-6 2:1.3.3-4 X11 client-side library ii libxinerama1 2:1.1-3 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxmu6 2:1.0.5-2 X11 miscellaneous utility library ii libxt6 1:1.0.7-1 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii xaw3dg 1.5+E-18 Xaw3d widget set Versions of packages gv recommends: ii xaw3dg 1.5+E-18 Xaw3d widget set gv suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
