Well, I don't really know if it's related with the problem you're experiencing but since Nevada build 110 I'm experiencing font related problems. Blastwave's Xine, for example, up to b110 always worked fine. After live upgrading to b110 Xine started to core dump with this message: This is xine (X11 gui) - a free video player v0.99.4. (c) 2000-2004 The xine Team. xiTK WARNING(xitk_font_load_font:725): loading font "*-helvetica-*-i-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" failed, default and system fonts "xiTK received SIGSEGV signal, RIP. Abort (core dumped)
Other programs started to misbehave printing messages such as xiTK WARNING(xitk_font_load_font:725): loading font "*-helvetica-*-i-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" failed, default and system fonts "xiTK Since then I tried to isolate the problem but could not. I also reinstalled Nevada from scratch but the problem's always there. Last time I checked it was with a vanilla b116 installation. I also installed OpenSolaris 2008.11 as a VirtualBox guest, installed Blastwave's xine IPS package but the issue was the same. Never tried with the last OpenSolaris release but I suppose the same thing would happen, after reading your mail. In the meantime, I installed a virtualized Linux to use the misbehaving programs.
