I ran into this problem and tried installing the following packages:
> [INSTALL] x11-xfs-utils
> [INSTALL] xfonts-100dpi
> [INSTALL] xfonts-75dpi
> [INSTALL] xfonts-scalable
> [INSTALL] xfs
Xfs no longer exists, and I installed xfstt as well. The problem
persisted, but went away after rebooting.
I also tried rebuilding ghemical after replacing 'courier 12' with
'Monospace' in the following files:
> src/p1dview_wcl.cpp:171: ogl_InitPangoFont("courier 12");
> src/eldview_wcl.cpp:135: ogl_InitPangoFont("courier 12");
> src/oglview_wcl.cpp:929: ogl_InitPangoFont("courier 12");
> src/p2dview_wcl.cpp:207: ogl_InitPangoFont("courier 12");
> src/gpcview_wcl.cpp:61: ogl_InitPangoFont("courier 12");
That just gave me the following error, even after installing
ttf-dejavu-core:
*** ERROR : Can't load font 'Monospace'
I continued to get this error, even after rebooting and the 'courier 12'
version of ghemical started working.
A similar issue was 'gracefully' fixed in #670613 by adding the Recommends.
