Hi,
I have a liitle problem. When I start xedit, xfig, ... I have the following message :
Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset
I have searched on differents forums and I don't find a solution.
Any Idea ?
Thanks

Hello,
I do not have the answer to your problem. But it may be interested (maybe related) to have a look at the 'XFree86 Font Deuglification HOWTO' at (eg) http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/mini/FDU/
Fonts under XFree will have no more secret for you!

This is what I get when I do "grep font /etc/X11/app-defaults/Xedit":
| Code: |
keyword?font=*courier-bold-r*12*,\
preprocessor?font=*courier-medium-r*12*,\
comment?font=*courier-medium-o*12*,\
string?font=*lucidatypewriter-medium-r*12*,\
constant?font=*lucidatypewriter-medium-r*12*,\
octal?font=*courier-bold-r*12*&overstrike,\
hexa?font=*courier-bold-r*12*&underline,\
integer?font=*courier-bold-r*12*,\
float?font=*courier-bold-r*12*&overstrike&underline,\
punctuation?font=*courier-bold-r*12*,\
error?foreground=white&background=black&font=*new century schoolbook-bold*25*,\
default?font=*courier-medium-r*12*

It is looking for courier and such. If you do "xlsfonts|grep courier-medium-r" do you get some fonts listed? |

| Also, was there any reason why you want to use xedit and xfig? There are more "modern" alternatives... |

-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--10-100-75-75-m-60-iso8859-10
....
So I have fonts.
If it can help, here it is the ouput of "locale" command :
LANG=en_US
LC_CTYPE="en_US"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US"
LC_TIME="en_US"
LC_COLLATE="en_US"
LC_MONETARY="en_US"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US"
LC_PAPER="en_US"
LC_NAME="en_US"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US"
LC_ALL=
and here the output of xfig :
Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-times-medium-r-normal--16-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,-*-*-medium-r-normal--16-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,-*-*-*-r-*--16-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" to type FontSet
