 Posted: Sun Nov 01, 2009 12:10 pm Post subject: [SOLVED]itself - gVim No valid fonts found |
 |
|
I am unable to start gVim. Starting from KDE, the icon just bounces up and down then disappears, when I try to start it from the terminal (emulator) I get the following error message and vim starts instead.
| Code: |
E665: Cannot start GUI, no valid font found
Hit ENTER or type command to continue
|
Here is my /etc/fonts/local.conf
| Code: |
,?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<!-- /etc/fonts/local.conf file for local customizations -->
<fontconfig>
<!--
Enable sub-pixel rendering
<dir>/usr/share/fonts</dir>
<match target="font">
<edit name="rgba" mode="assign"><const>rgb</const></edit>
</match>
-->
<dir>/usr/share/fonts/corefonts/</dir>
<dir>/usr/share/fonts/unifont/</dir>
<dir>/usr/share/fonts/terminus/</dir>
<dir>/usr/share/fonts/Type1/</dir>
<dir>/usr/share/fonts/freefont/</dir>
<dir>/usr/share/fonts/artwiz/</dir>
<dir>/usr/share/fonts/local/</dir>
<dir>/usr/share/fonts/misc/</dir>
<dir>/usr/share/fonts/Speedo/</dir>
<dir>/usr/share/fonts/CID/</dir>
<dir>/usr/share/fonts/ttf-bitstream-vera/</dir>
<dir>/usr/share/fonts/util/</dir>
<dir>/usr/share/fonts/sharefont/</dir>
<dir>/usr/share/fonts/lfp-fix/</dir>
<dir>/usr/share/fonts/TTF/</dir>
<dir>/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/</dir>
<dir>/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/</dir>
<dir>/usr/share/fonts/lfp-var/</dir>
<dir>/usr/share/fonts/cyrillic/</dir>
<dir>/usr/share/fonts/encodings/</dir>
<dir>/usr/share/fonts/ukr/</dir>
</fontconfig>

and appropriate part of Xorg.conf:
| Code: |
Section "Files"
ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/corefonts"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/terminus"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/unifont"

FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/freefont"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/artwiz"

FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/misc"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/Speedo"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/CID"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/ttf-bitstream-vera"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/util"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/lfp-fix"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/lfp-var"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/TTF"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/cyrillic"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/encodings"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/ukr"
FontPath "/usr/local/share/fonts"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/baekmuk"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/sharefonts"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/ttf"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype"
EndSection

I have already tried the suggestions in this thread, to no success.
fc-cache runs without errrors.
gVim still does not work. Any suggestions appreciated (other than use emacs  )

If only it was something that simple.
Unfortunately, that hasn't helped. Same error, still no idea, and neither apparently does any one else! |

| No idea on the cause of this, but having just done a re-emerge of gvim, all is now working. |

| For me, the problem was that gvim needed to be compiled with the gtk use flag. |
