Description of Problem: gnome-terminal font selection dialog does not work, i.e, the font change does not take effect How Reproducible: always. on start, prints the following on the console: -----------------cut here------------------- Gdk-WARNING **: Missing charsets in FontSet creation Gdk-WARNING **: ISO8859-1 --------------cut here------------------------- LANG was declare -x LANG="pt_PT.ISO-8859-1" but it occurs after changing it to C.
You're probably choosing a font with the wrong encoding. If you uncheck "enable multibyte support" it will let you choose a font with an encoding that doesn't match the locale. I don't want to fix this in GNOME 1.x, except possibly to improve the error message GTK prints when this happens since it's reported so often. Ideally GTK would print "font encoding is foo but locale encoding is bar, unable to load font" or something like that. I don't know if GTK has enough info to do that.
gtk+-1.2.10-13 (now building) has improved warnings.
