When I start xfig, I get the following: Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion ^GCan't open compose key file '/usr/lib/xfig/CompKeyDB', no multi-key sequences available
I want to deal wit the font messages first. I may ask about the compose key file if I can't resolve it with web search. Googling the font error yields hits mostly from non-cygwin distributions of xfig. Most hits are from people who actually get more detail in the error, specifying the fonts that are missing. I don't seem to have that detail in the message above. I found that the fonts are stored in /usr/share/fonts, but I haven't been able to find a description of how to determine which fonts are missing. The only font related messages in the XWin log file at /var/log/xwin/XWin.0.log are: [ 6157.577] XFree86-Bigfont extension local-client optimization disabled due to lack of shared memory support in the kernel [ 6157.640] [dix] Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/OTF/, removing from list! I don't care about "optimizations" at this point, so I ignored the first message. Googling "OTF" in the 2nd message reveals that they are Adobe/Microsoft fonts, so I doubt that is the problem. In any case, I would like to avoid installing fonts willy-nilly because there are so many and I don't want to bloat my system. Is there an xfig log file or some other means by which one can determine which fonts are missing? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
