I've noticed in the package description that ttf-kochi-mincho development has stopped, and suggests using ttf-sazanami-mincho instead.
I've installed this font, and changed the font used from your command: j...@tester:~$ pterm -fn '-sazanami-mincho- medium-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-m-*-jisx0212.1990-0' Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to load module "libcanberra-gtk-module.so": libcanberra-gtk-module.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Floating point exception Running pterm without any argument reproduces the Gtk-WARNING, so I'm ignoring that for now. I do get a Floating point exception as you do. Japanese fronts, from my understanding, are 'wide-format' fonts, so I tried the pterm switch -fw instead of -fn and pterm loaded without the Floating point exception. Since my language is set as English, it didnt load Japanese characters. Could you try using -fw with kochi, and with sazanami? Thanks. -- pterm crashes with SIGFPE if 'mincho (kochi)' font selected https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/134902 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
