As superuser Windowmaker runs, as a user, it aborts saying "no fonts found" or similar.
I checked the www.fontconfig.org site and there is hardly any documentation there. It was no help. The www.windowmaker.org site had one tip for possibly solving this error- make sure locale is set right, or in worst case, unset the LANG variable. None of these ideas worked. Maybe they need to be set before compiling Windowmaker??? I don't know. Looking at the Windowmaker config files: /etc/X11/WindowMaker/WMGlobal and /etc/X11/WindowMaker/Windowmaker and the corresponding ~/GNUStep config files, Windowmaker is looking for the Trebuchet MS, Luxi Sans font, which does reside in my system in the /usr/share/fonts/TTF directory. The TTF directory is included in my xorg.conf file. So I tried to hack the ~/GNUStep config files to use different fonts, and that did not help either. A search of the gentoo-user archives didn't find anything. So I am at a loss as to why I can't run Windowmaker as a user. Sincerely, Rob. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
