Description

More info: I tried bypassing xfs on the RHEL4 box by doing a 'xset fp=' to the actual directories rather than the font server. This made no difference. I then went to a FedoreCore2 box I still had running. I modified /etc/init.d/xfs and /etc/X11/fs/config to have the server run on tcp port 7100. THen went back to the RHEL4 box and do a 'xset fp= tcp/fc2box:7100'. No the xview apps run with no font errors. Even ones compiled locally on the RHEL4 box. So this definitely has something to do with a change in font handling between xorg-x11 6.7 and 6.8. But is not xfs specific since bypassing the server to have the X server go direct to the directories did not help. Some one at freedeskop.org is claiming this bug is a duplicate of this: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1560 which implies that certain lucida fonts simply got left out of the 6.8 build used by RHEL4 Yes, that appears to be it.
I copied the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/{100,75}dpi/lu*-ISO* files form my FC2
box over to my RHEL4 box, ran mkfontdir in each directory and viola! All
is fixed.
This is an upstream bug in X.Org X11 6.8.1 which is not Red Hat specific. The Lucida fonts were inadvertently not installed by X.Org 6.8.x in stock Xorg sources. The bug was reported to us already, and to X.org, and has subsequently been fixed in X.Org CVS. We have already built new fonts-xorg rpms which include the missing fonts which is now slated for release in RHEL4 U1: * Mon Nov 29 2004 Mike A. Harris <mharris> 6.8.1.1-1 - Updated main tarball to include lucidatypewriter fonts that were missing from X.Org X11 6.8.1, and renamed it to 6.8.1.1 to avoid multiple tarballs with same version but different contents, since it was updated with the new fonts. (#139108, 139121, fdo#1560) If you need rpms that fix this in the mean time, the fonts-xorg package from Fedora development can be used if desired, as it contains the same fix, plus a few other minor fixes. Alternatively, I can make the pending RHEL4 U1 rpms available to you via ftp if desired, just add a comment to let me know if you're interested. Thanks. I got it "fixed" by copying over the missing fonts from a Fedora Core 2 box we have. I am guessing they will just be overwritten when the update comes through. So I am fine now. Thanks Yeah, if you just copied the files themselves over, when fonts-xorg gets updated, it'll automatically install the missing lucida fonts over top and everything should continue to work. Thanks for the quick reply. Setting status to "MODIFIED" for Red Hat QA testing. An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report.
