Description Jack Perdue 2011-02-23 19:16:40 UTC
Description of problem:

Running bless on a file you want to hex view/edit brings up a dialog requesting additional font.

"mono-core wants to install a font.  An additional font is required to view this document correctly.  Language code not matched: utf-8.  Do you want to search for a suitable package now?"

Searching is fruitless.  Resulting editor display is unusable.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

bless-0.6.0-5.fc13.i686
mono-core-2.6.7-3.fc14.i686


How reproducible:

Very.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  yum -y install bless
2.  echo bar > /tmp/bar
3.  bless /tmp/bar
  
Actual results:

Dialog requesting font and unusable edit screen.

Expected results:

No dialog and working edit screen.

Additional info:

Just following up on the following thread (details there) since I'm not sure of a solution (no mono for me):

Comment 1 Nicola RomanĂ² 2011-04-16 06:53:19 UTC
I can confirm the bug on Fedora 13, although bless is perfectly usable for me, after closing the annoying font-installing popup.

bless-0.6.0-5.fc13.i686
mono-core-2.6.4-1.fc13.i686

Comment 2 bibo 2011-04-20 05:57:48 UTC
In Fedora 15 the problem is the same.
Do i need to submit the bug as new?

Comment 3 win_with_ben 2011-04-22 07:12:29 UTC
[SOLVED]
gconftool-2 --set /apps/gnome-packagekit/enable_font_helper --type bool false

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 12:00:48 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

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:
