*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 62300 *** If someone is still looking for a solution, as far as I remember, fixing the font paths in xorg.conf did the trick:
In the FontPath - lines (in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf), make sure that you have /usr/share/fonts/X11/ instead of /usr/share/X11/fonts. For example change line FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/misc" to line FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc" I'm not 100% sure this was the trick that did it for me but .. I'd suppose chancing the font paths to ones that really exist won't hurt you.. r -- Fonts not shown in dialogs window https://launchpad.net/bugs/65708 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
