I'm having trouble with the text displayed by applications, such
as GWorkspace and ViewPDF, coming out as a large fixed-pitch font
(Courier?) instead of the small sans-serif font that it used to be
in. This is since rebuilding GNUstep from the latest source -
gnustep-make 1.10.0, base 1.10.3, and gui and back 0.9.5. Previous
versions were make and base 1.10.0, and gui and back 0.9.4.
If the application is run from a terminal, it outputs error messages
of the form:
GWorkspace[8813] The font specified for NSFont, Helvetica, can't
be found.
Helvetica is present on the system; it's one of the X core bit-mapped
fonts. But presumably applications are now meant to use the fonts in
the directory /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Fonts/Helvetica.nfont
(though they actually seem to be Nimbus Sans rather than Helvetica)?
Can anyone suggest what I need to do to get the right fonts picked up,
or alternatively to diagnose the problem?
Also, there seems to be a problem in accessing the discuss-gnustep
mailing list archive via the web this evening; it's giving me:
Gateway Timeout
The following error occurred:
[code=GATEWAY_TIMEOUT] A gateway timeout occurred. The server is
unreachable. Retry the request. Please contact the administrator.
Apologies, therefore, if this query is a duplicate of something that's
already been discussed.
