No idea. I didn't have xosview installed before. As I said it was a clean install with no config whatsoever. > <snip> > >> Versions of packages xosview recommends: >> pn xfonts-base <none> > > ^^^ > Are you sure you installed xfonts-base before sending this bug report? :) When I opened reportbug I didn't and, while writing the report, I realized that I was blaming it on that package without checking first. So I installed the package, re-tested and edited the report accordingly. What's more, I was actually using the testing version at first and upgraded to the unstable version when reportbug told me that there was a new version there.

It doesn't. It does change the error message, though: $ xosview xosview: display :0 cannot load font 6x10 This is the reportbug information with the current install: -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (100, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.1.0-1-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages xosview depends on: ii libc6 2.13-23 ii libgcc1 1:4.6.2-9 ii libstdc++6 4.6.2-9 ii libx11-6 2:1.4.4-4 Versions of packages xosview recommends: ii xfonts-base 1:1.0.3 xosview suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/X11/app-defaults/XOsview changed: [SNIP as it shows the whole config file with the change you suggested] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
