Could you include an attachement showing the error messages?

It seems to work okay for me here, so I'm wondering which
fonts it cant find. 

If it is looking for X server side fonts, it may be an issue
with the Xserver you are using (and/or it's font config).

Comment 2 Alex Yu 2002-12-05 02:40:14 UTC

I guess I have similar problem.  I am using X-Win on Windows XP.  I try 
forward up2date to my desktop and the font looks very very small.

Comment 3 Adrian Likins 2003-01-21 04:53:02 UTC

Since up2date doesn't use any fonts that are not standard,
and I can't reproduce this, I'm putting this into
WORKSFORME.

Comment 4 Max Kanat-Alexander 2003-10-17 13:27:36 UTC

I reproduced this on today's (16-Oct-2003) rawhide release. It's virtually
identical to the real old bug 40072.

Could the problem be that I don't have the 75 dpi fonts installed, only the 100
dpi fonts?

Here's what I get (in my .xsession-errors) upon starting up2date-4.1.7-1:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 1183, in ?
    sys.exit(main() or 0)
  File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 845, in main
    gui.main()
  File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/gui.py", line 2197, in main
    gui = Gui()
  File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/gui.py", line 284, in __init__
    style.font = gtk.load_font("-*-helvetica-bold-r-normal--12-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1")

I actually don't have that font installed.

Here's the output of (xlsfonts | grep "helvetica-bold-r-normal--12"):

-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-70-iso8859-2
-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-70-iso8859-2
-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-70-koi8-r
-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-70-koi8-r
-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-70-koi8-u
-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-70-koi8-u
-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-70-koi8-ub
-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-70-koi8-ub

Looking through my fonts, it seems that I have an 8859-1 font for every size
_except_ 12.

I have XFree86-4.3.0-40 and all related packages (excepting the 75dpi fonts).
