Description of problem:I have installed fedora 19. I am not able to open eps file in gv. It gives the following message:

Comment 1 Orion Poplawski 2013-09-25 23:07:15 UTC

Please attach your eps file.

FYI, these:

Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf", line 14: reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated.
Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf", line 14: reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated.

are caused by having a ~/.fonts.conf file, which probably should be removed.

It's possible that doing a:

yum install 'font(symbol)'

will install the missing font.

Thank you for the reply.
After removing .font.conf and indtalling font(symbol) it gives the following error:

Actually the .eps file is a sine curve generated by gnuplot!
Please help.

Comment 3 Orion Poplawski 2013-09-27 17:40:22 UTC

Please attach the eps files *and* instructions for generating it.

Comment 4 trilo 2013-09-27 18:08:21 UTC

The problem is solved by just emptying /var/cache/fontconfig directory.
Thanks to Jerry James!
