I discovered that both fonts patterns (that used in mtink and that used in the patch) are not right. Here are the results of my xlsfonts command:
$ xlsfonts -fn 'l-*-r-normal-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-koi8-ru' xlsfonts: pattern "l-*-r-normal-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-koi8-ru" unmatched $ xlsfonts -fn 'l-*-r-normal-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-koi8-r' xlsfonts: pattern "l-*-r-normal-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-koi8-r" unmatched And the right patterns are these ones: '*-r-normal-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-koi8-r' (a lot of fonts), '*bold-r-normal-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-koi8-r' (less but a lot too). So, I patched the sources according to this (thinking "Thats'it! It will work!") but oops... Mtink is showing now the same unreadable symbols and saying the error message with really right font patterns: $ mtink Warning: Cannot convert string "*-urw palladio *bold-r-normal-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-koi8-r" to type FontStruct Warning: Cannot convert string "*-urw palladio *-r-normal-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-koi8-r" to type FontStruct To be sure, I copipasted patterns just from this error message to xlsfonts and got again a lot of fonts. Here must be something else, what do you think? -- Regards, Alexey Mishustin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
