I found a work around. This program requires 100dpi and 75dpi fonts so I just installed them in the chroot: sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/apt/ sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 aptitude update aptitude install xfonts-100dpi xfonts-75dpi sudo ltsp-update-image And after this my program has the fonts it needs and works. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
