Failed to load font '-adobe-utopia-regular-r-normal--20-0-75-75-p-0-iso8859-1' which X 'said' it knew about. This shouldn't happen (but does in XFree86 3.9.16). Basically, choose another font or take the default font. ----snap---- If fxtv is started a second time after that the whole system will freeze. Note that I have _not_ defined any fxtv-related Xresources. Defining another default font through Xresources like the error message suggests results in the same problem. The problem occurs on all XFree Versions that I've used so far (Version 4.1.0 and 4.2.0). >How-To-Repeat: set $LANG to de_DE.ISO8859-15 e.g. 'setenv LANG de_DE.ISO8859-15' then start fxtv and you will see the mentioned error message start fxtv once again and the system will freeze completely >Fix: workaround is to set $LANG to de_DE.ISO8859-1 before starting fxtv, for example through the following shellscript: ----snip---- #!/bin/sh export LANG=de_DE.ISO8859-1 exec /usr/X11R6/bin/fxtv ----snap---- >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
