Description Joshua Jensen 2002-06-05 14:54:39 UTC 
Description of Problem:

Not sure where the problem is, filing against the application.  Please feel free
to put this bug report where it should go... I am not clear on where it should
be.  When changing the font in gnome-terminal to Courier (adobe) bold 16 point,
gnome-terminal does not change the font, but spits this error message at me instead:

The font "-adobe-courier-bold-r-normal-*-*-160-*-*-m-*-iso8859-9" does not
support all the required character sets for the current locale "en_US.iso885915"
  (Missing character set "ISO8859-15")
  (Missing character set "ISO8859-15")

Additional Information:
	
I've seen this problem and a very similar error with gnucash as well.

You need to make the font encoding and your locale encoding match by changing
one of them, or uncheck the "enable multibyte support" button in gnome-terminal
preferences to allow them to mismatch. Just how traditional X fonts work.

There should be a better error message but the next release avoids the whole
issue with a new font subsystem, so keeping the bug open for that isn't really
worthwhile.
