Description

Thank you, that you have taking the time to create this bug report. I have try to reproduced your issue. If I'm starting xemace and going to Option / Fonts, I will get two menu choices 'Bitstreem ...' and 'Luxi Sam..'. When I select the first Menu, I can find the requested font as the ninth menu choice. I will hope this explaination may help you to solve your issue. Best Regards: Jochen Schmitt Hi Jochen - Thanks for the quick response. When I run xemacs in FC8, I get results similar to yours. (The 2 menu choices that I get are '...Luxi Mono...' and '...Utopia...'. Picking the 1st choice gives me a further menu, and Kapl is the 11th choice. This works on both the 686 and x86_64 platforms. However, when I run xemacs in FC9, options..fonts... gives me a list of 23 fonts on the x86_64 platform with no Kapl and no further menus. On the 686 platform, options...fonts... gives me a list of 15 fonts with no Kapl and no further menus. Not clear why I am getting such different results than you are. Maybe it is because I did a fresh install of FC9 on a new partitions on both platforms instead of an upgrade of my existing FC8 partitions to FC9. Best regards, Tom Thank you for your response. I assume I have found the reason for your issue. Due an mistake of me, We have an broken update path betwenn F-8 and F-9 so that the most current release of aplus-fsf was not available for F-9. Because, I have fixed this issue, it may be nice, if you can do a 'yum update' or 'yum update aplus-fsf' on your F-9 system and try again to reproduced your reported issue. Best Regards: Jochen Schmitt I ran the "yum update" in F-9 environments on both the x86-64 and i686 platforms for 4 packages, re-testing xemacs after each package update: aplus-fsf aplus-fsf-devel xemacs-aplus-fsf fonts-x11-apl The kapl font problem was fixed in the F-9 environments on both platforms after the update of the fonts-x11-apl package. However, I am now experiencing the "iota" problem noted in bug #456952 in the F-9 environment on both platforms. The only environment in which I do not have the bug #456952 is in F-8 on in the x86-64 platform. I get the error message "token undefined" in the following environments: F-7 F-8 and F-9 on i686 F-9 on x86_64 (I currently do not have an F-7 environment on x86_64) I will attempt to see if there is anything unique about my F-8 environment on x86-64 Thanks for your help, Tom This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping This bug has been fixed, and should be closed.
The problem was caused by a dependency on the sort sequence.
It was fixed by adding
export LC_ALL=POSIX
to .bashrc
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
