Hi folks, I'm having what appears to be a common problem but not of the solutions I've found on various forums and threads have worked for me.
I noticed this issue after I configured my system to use the en_US.utf8 locale but it's possible that this issue existed before that change. Note that in debugging I've gone back to using having POSIX as my locale and the problem persists. I noticed then when I did a ctrl-right click xterm windows would close. I started an xterm from an xterm and ctrl-right clicked on the new xterm and saw the following error message: <begin> ~(245)$ xterm Warning: Cannot convert string "-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font Error: Aborting: no font found <end> I see the following with trying to launch xfontsel: <begin> $ xfontsel Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset Error: Aborting: no font found </end> xclock starts but it prints the following: <begin> $ xclock Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font ^C $ </begin> I've found, and tried, the following suggestions with no luck: 1. Ensured that media-fonts/font-misc-misc is installed. 2. Ensured that the FontPath is set is /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Other details like which versions of various X components I have installed and "xset q fp" output can be found in a distro bug opened: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=359679. Please note that in Googling around I've found that users on other distros have experienced this issue. I've attached "strace editres" output @ http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=266879. Any suggestions on how to address this would be much appreciated. Thanks! _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: [email protected]
