hi
I use sid and Gnome ; I upgraded my box (after 3 weeks in which I did
not have time to) ; now I have serious problems with fonts.
Symptoms: some programs fail to find and use the fonts ,and are then
almost unusable ; including 'emacs-snapshot-gtk' 'display' 'xmms'
('xmms' is missing fonts for the menus but not for the main display);
'gpr' 'gnomecal' .
Note that, in my desktop, I set:
$ env | grep LANG
LANG=it_IT.UTF-8
GDM_LANG=it_IT.UTF-8
note also that other programs are fine, for example, all GTK2 applications.
I encounter some peculiar behaviour, here is a listing
$ gnomecal
(never starts)
$ LANG='' gnomecal
(prints this forever)
The font "-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--12-*-*-*-p-*-*-*,-cronyx-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-p-*-koi8-r,-*-*-bold-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-ksc5601.1987-0,*" does not support all the required character sets for the current locale "LC_CTYPE=en_US;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=C;LC_COLLATE=C;LC_MONETARY=C;LC_MESSAGES=C;LC_PAPER=C;LC_NAME=C;LC_ADDRESS=C;LC_TELEPHONE=C;LC_MEASUREMENT=C;LC_IDENTIFICATION=C"
