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
I just had a font problem after a recent gentoo update, too, but I'm not sure
it's the same problem.
My problem was caused by a change in the way the misc.misc fonts are named, but
the font.alias package doesn't contain the corresponding changes. (Perhaps a
version mismatch?)
Specifically, I use the 9x15 alias listed in fonts.alias:
#grep 9x15 /usr/share/fonts/misc/fonts.alias
9x15 -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-iso8859-1
9x15bold -misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-iso8859-1
However, fonts.dir lists those two fonts as:
#grep 9x15 /usr/share/fonts/misc/fonts.dir
9x15.pcf.gz -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-iso10646-1
9x15B.pcf.gz -misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-iso10646-1
Note the iso8858 changed to iso10646, so fonts.alias was pointing to
a nonexistent font.
