Description Stephen Gallagher 2008-12-15 13:37:26 UTC
Description of problem:
The Data Display Debugger is missing a dependency on xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1.
Either xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi or xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-100dpi is required to run ddd by default or it switches to a fixed-width X11 font that is unreadable.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ddd-3.3.11-18.fc9.x86_64 (running on F10)

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora from the GNOME LiveCD
2. yum -y install ddd
3. Launch DDD
  
Actual results:
DDD launches, gives the following errors:
Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct
(Annoyed?  Try 'Edit->Preferences->General->Suppress X Warnings'!)
Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-*-100-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct
Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct
Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-lucidatypewriter-bold-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct
Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct
Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-helvetica-medium-*-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct
Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-helvetica-bold-*-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct
Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-*-180-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct
Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-symbol-*-*-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-adobe-*" to type FontStruct
Warning: Could not load font "-*-lucidatypewriter-medium-*-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*", using font "fixed" instead
Warning: Could not load font "-*-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*", using font "fixed" instead
Warning: Could not load font "-*-lucidatypewriter-bold-*-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*", using font "fixed" instead

and loads the main screen. The default font it falls to is so large and has such wide spaces that the utility is unusable.

Expected results:
DDD should load and its fonts be readable.

Additional info:
Installing either the xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi or xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-100dpi package (or both) will eliminate this issue. I therefore recommend that one or the other of these packages be listed as a requirement for running DDD and automatically installed by yum.
