[ccp4bb] Missing fonts...

2008-03-05 Thread Harry Powell

Hi folks

I've had a couple of reports recently of people trying to run ipmosflm 
on Fedora Core 8 machines, and they get the following error -


** xdl_view error in routine xdl_open_view **
** Unable to load *adobe-courier-medium-r*--8* font **

I'm assuming that the install for FC8 is not including all the Courier 
fonts; since I don't have an FC8 machine handy, could anyone here offer 
advice about the best way to install these?

Dear Harry,

  The simplest solution may well be to do what we are starting to do
with RasMol to deal with the divergence in font sets on Linux systems.
We are gathering font kits, and then setting up install and run scripts that
put the fonts into convenient directories in the user account and then
do an xset +fp on each run.

  Regards,
Herbert

Fedora 8 no longer installs 75dpi fonts with the default installation.
'yum install xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi' will get you the needed fonts.
