Description of problem: In the layout editor, viewer or schmetatic editor from alliance, the text in the menus is missing. Instead, dotted rectangles appear where characters should be. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): alliance-5.0-16.20070718snap.fc9.i386 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run Applications->Electronics->Alliance: Layout Editor 2. Look at the menubar and drop down menus. 3. Notice the weird text. Actual results: Weird text (dotted rectangles instead of English characters). Expected results: English words used menu items, shown correctly. Additional info: This is running under gnome.
Works for me under gnome with the same alliance version. The fonts are a bit ugly, but no rectangles here. What about other Tk apps ?
Other Tk apps are fine. e.g. magic or /usr/share/tk8.5/demos/rmt. Could it be due to locale issues? $ echo $LANG en_AU.utf8
Mind to show me a screenshot, BOTH of you. I'll try to reproduce it under the en_AU locale this weekend.

I've tested on a freshly installed f9 with the en_AU locale. No issue at all. Would you mind create a new user and try under that user please ?
FWIW, it works for me in Fedora 8. Perhaps this is a missing fonts package dependency issue?
hmm can you perform a rpm -qa | sort > rpmlist_fX where X is 8 or 9 on both machine please. then upload the 2 files rpmlist_f8 and rpmlist_f9 here.
Created attachment 309756 [details] diff of installed package names for f8 (<) and f9 (>) I couldn't find any obvious relevant differences.
BTW, creating a new user and running from that account did not help.

Please send me the 2 files separately (not as diff) as described in comment #8. I'm curious to know the versions as well of your installed rpms.

It (alliance 5.0 -16) works absolutely fine for me. No rectangular boxes and the grid also display very evenly. Am unable t reproduce this issue. @ Tim, Recently the lesstif libs have been updated, can you please try again and let us know whether this is still reproducible with the updated lesstif libs? Thanks in Advance and for the support extended until now.
(In reply to comment #14) > @ Tim, > Recently the lesstif libs have been updated, can you please try again and let > us know whether this is still reproducible with the updated lesstif libs? I updated lesstif then tried graal again, but the same problem occurs.
This weekend, I got rex dieter try alliance. He is experiencing this issue as well on a x86_64 (on F9). Tim can you confirm that you are using i386 arch? Maybe its not an arch dependent issue.
I'm on f10/x86_64 atm.
I am using i386. It still has the same problem on Fedora 10.
I'm experiencing this issue as well on: -i386 -radeon opensource driver.
I have solved my bug locally without any idea how: I did: yum install xorg-x11-fonts* then launch xsch then remove all xorg-x11-fonts* xsch (alliance-5.0-23.20070718snap.fc10.i386) I have no dotted rectangles. how can one explain that ?
I'm no longer having this issue. Is it still an issue for you?
I no longer see this either (f10/x86_64)
It's working properly for me now. I'm not sure why. Maybe installing some other package installed a necessary package as a dependency. FYI $ rpm -qa 'xorg-x11-fonts*' xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi-7.2-6.fc9.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-misc-7.2-6.fc9.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi-7.2-6.fc9.noarch
