[Bug 1867561] Re: regression: twm won't launch in focal
At one time in Bourne shell and derivatives LANG=C twm & may have worked but because of all the other LC variables which are now setup and which are not overriden by setting LANG=C, the work around for the bug in twm being unable to open the fixed font for UTF-8 and other encodings is to specify LC_ALL=C twm & You may even find that LC_ALL=en twm & where "en" is "English" also works (along with other two letter language variants) but anything more specific cauting UTF-8 enocding to be invoked such as en_GB or en_US will give the same error as "unable to open fontset fixed". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1867561 Title: regression: twm won't launch in focal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/twm/+bug/1867561/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
