Do you, by any chance, have a font which is not orld-readable ? (check with strace..) -- rederic Crozat andrakeSoft
I had reported this problem as well before as first I had just seen that mozilla wouldn't start (no errors output but strace kinda indicated that it was exciting in the font part) but then other applications (like drakconf, etc) would give me the same error about No fonts..... All this started with the updates on Monday December 30th.
This was/is on a full cooker that was installed from scratch early to mid december and just being updated every other day with urpmi --auto-select -auto .... No special tinkering with any settings. Just using Mozilla to browse and KMail to check email and listening to mp3's.
One contributor suggested a workaround to at least be able to use the apps in question by :
declare -x GDK_USE_XFT="0"
But this doesn't really solve the problem but at least you can use the apps.
