Description of problem: I have vmware machine and wanted run wireshark-gnome there, but I got this error: # wireshark No fonts found; this probably means that the fontconfig library is not correctly configured. You may need to edit the fonts.conf configuration file. More information about fontconfig can be found in the fontconfig(3) manual page and on http://fontconfig.org When I install fonts-xorg-base it run smoothly. So wireshark-gnome should depend on fonts-xorg-base or sine font virtual package. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): # rpm -q wireshark-gnome wireshark-gnome-0.99.4-EL4.1 How reproducible: deterministic
This should be handled by some package on which wireshark-gnome depends on. I assume GTK2, maybe some lower. Same error do gtk-demo without fonts.
Same problem exists in Fedora 7.
