Hi, I just encountered the same problem.
I'm fairly certain the root cause is that the game assumes some specific named font is available, and fails when it isn't (i.e. missing dependency). I looked at it using xtruss (https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/xtruss/) and it seems to try to use a font called "8x16": OpenFont(fid=f#04600003, name="8x16") ChangeGC(gc=g#04600002, foreground=0x0000FFFF, background=0x00000000, font=f#04600003) ChangeWindowAttributes(window=w#04600001, event-mask=Exposure) ConfigureWindow(window=w#04600001, stack-mode=Above) MapWindow(window=w#04600001) ... OpenFont(fid=f#04600003, name="8x16") = BadName ... ChangeGC(gc=g#04600002, foreground=0x0000FFFF, background=0x00000000, font=f#04600003) = BadFont(font=f#00000000) --- Expose(window=w#04600001, x=0, y=0, width=1, height=1, count=0) X Error of failed request: BadName (named color or font does not exist) Major opcode of failed request: 45 (X_OpenFont) Serial number of failed request: 27 Current serial number in output stream: 31 I have no idea how to provide the game with the required font; the xfonts-base package, which contains /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/8x16.pcf.gz, is installed, fwiw. HTH. Andras -- The trouble with political humor is that so many jokes are elected.
