Hello all,
I puttered around the forums, email archive, and IRC, but I was unable to find
any information that pointed me into a direction that solved the issue I am now
having.
I installed a fresh version of enlightenment from svn over the weekend, upon
trying to 'startx' now, I am greeted with the following:
=== begin paste ===
ESTART: 0.13189 [0.00009] - test file format support
<<<< Enlightenment Error >>>>
Enlightenment found Evas can't load the 'Sans' font. Check Evas has fontconfig
support and system fontconfig defines a 'Sans' font.
E17: Begin shutdown procedure!
=== end paste ===
Most of the information I found, including a closed bug report on E's tracker
site, pointed me towards fontconfig support. My install of evas found the
fontconfig library:
=== begin paste ===
configure:17557: checking for FONTCONFIG
configure:17564: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "fontconfig"
configure:17567: $? = 0
configure:17580: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "fontconfig"
configure:17583: $? = 0
configure:17630: result: yes
=== end paste ===
and was linked properly:
=== begin paste ===
[r...@mintaka lib]# ldd libevas.so.0
--snip--
libfontconfig.so.1 => /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 (0xb7b6e000)
--endsnip--
=== end paste ===
My installation of fontconfig seems to find a "Sans" font:
=== begin paste ===
[r...@mintaka ~]# fc-match Sans
DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book"
=== end paste ===
So at this point, I can't figure out why enlightenment won't start, and why
evas can't find the Sans font ...
I tried removing my ~/.e directory, just to be sure, but no luck there.
Any ideas would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
