|
|
Recent updates have broken twm. Apparently some adobe fonts are missing that used to be there, and twm refuses to start without them. How do I install the missing adobe fonts? They must be part of some package somewhere that got either updated or removed.
Thanks! _________________ The MyWord KJV Bible tool is at http://www.elilabs.com/~myword

Look at /var/log/emerge.log to find out which packages were removed. I guess that you need media-fonts/font-adobe-100dpi and/or media-fonts/font-adobe-75dpi. |

But that's a font, not a package. What is the package containing that font, or any other adobe font for that matter?
Oops! You listed 3 packages, and I looked too quickly and thought it was one long font name. Thanks. I will try to install those tomorrow evening, which is the first chance I will get to to this. _________________ The MyWord KJV Bible tool is at http://www.elilabs.com/~myword

I just installed both of those font packages and I still get:
Code: |
cyrus ~ # DISPLAY=:7 twm &
[6] 4050
cyrus ~ # twm: unable to open fontset "-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*"
[6]+ Exit 1 DISPLAY=:7 twm
cyrus ~ #
|
I then re-installed twm and got:
Code: |
cyrus ~ # DISPLAY=:7 twm &
[6] 12508
cyrus ~ # twm: unable to open fontset "-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*"
[6]+ Exit 1 DISPLAY=:7 twm
cyrus ~ #
|
So what is going on? _________________ The MyWord KJV Bible tool is at http://www.elilabs.com/~myword

Did you run 'xset fp rehash', as advised in the output message of emerge?
Code: | * Installed fonts changed. Run 'xset fp rehash' if you are using non-fontconfig applications. |

Still no joy:
Code: |
cyrus ~ # xset fp rehash
cyrus ~ # DISPLAY=:7 twm &
[6] 28210
cyrus ~ # twm: unable to open fontset "-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*"
[6]+ Exit 1 DISPLAY=:7 twm
cyrus ~ #

I was able to work around this problem, not fix it, by switching to ctwm instead of twm. _________________ The MyWord KJV Bible tool is at http://www.elilabs.com/~myword
