problems with gnomeprint???
A problem with printing from GNOME apps has been introduced within the
past two-three weeks. (I cannot tell for sure since I rarely print from
GNOME apps). The problem specifically happens with gedit ( 0.9.6-3
package from Sid) and cvs-balsa (hand compiled). The error message is
as follows:
----alert widget-------------
(APP) cannot find font (X)
Printing is not possible
-----------------------------
---console message------
** CRITICAL **: file gnome-font.c: line 194 (gnome_font_new): assertion
`face != NULL' failed.
-----------------------------
The alert widget is complaining that I am missing fonts like Courier
and Helvetica. I am sure that my X-server has these fonts but I really
do not know enough about how gnome-print works to say that I definitely
have the files that it needs, all that I do know is that I have been
printing from balsa off/on for the past year and have only recently run
into any problem. I have notice if I fool around with the names in the
*fontmap files in /etc/gnome/fonts && /usr/share/gnome/fonts that I can
get it to stop complaining about Courier (but since I really don't know
what I am changing I leave it the way it was). I am guessing that the
fonts are there since I haven't uninstalled any font packages but that
?gnome-font-install? isn't picking them up. (since I ran
gnome-font-install -rs on know font directories and it only picked up a
few of the available fonts). --
