This could be solved by editing the default font used in your gtkrc. Best place to start looking is your ~/.gtkrc, which will probably just include the gtkrc for the theme you're using. Or make sure you've got the right fonts installed - keep reading. > Similarly, trying xvidtune gives me > > Tux:~# xvidtune > Vendor: , Model: > Num hsync: 1, Num vsync: 1 > hsync range 0: 31.00 - 70.00 > vsync range 0: 55.00 - 120.00 > Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font > Segmentation fault > > I'd also like to load ISO8859-1 font to give me Polish accents ... Not 100% sure about this one, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's trying to use the "fixed" font (which is the default font when all else fails), which is most likely aliased to a core font that you don't have installed. If that's the case, you can probably go futzing with, for example, /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias to set fixed up as an alias to something you do actually have on your machine. Or once again, make sure you've got some base font packages installed. :-) You're using debian, right? You should make sure xfonts-base is installed, and one of either xfonts-75dpi or xfonts-100dpi. They're the minimal set of fonts the XFree86 guys suggest for a basic X setup. Install them, run "xset fp rehash" or restart your X session. Of course, if they are installed, then you've got bigger problems that I'd rather not think about unless they're actually happening. :-) -- Pete -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
