Thanks Roberto. Can you try running: LC_ALL=C vmplayer
(I doubt this will make any difference, it appears to be falling back to C anyway.) Do you have the package language-pack-en installed? If not, can you try installing it then running vmplayer again? If that still doesn't work, please run this: strace vmplayer 2>&1 | gzip > trace.gz and upload the trace.gz. Thanks! -- fonts in vmplayer are not readable under amd64 https://launchpad.net/bugs/93858 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
