Description Manfred Hollstein 2001-10-08 12:38:13 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20010913

Description of problem:
The current version of RP3 in the latest 7.2 beta relies on the
font "-schumacher-clean-medium-r-normal-*-*-80-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1"
being existant; however, this font is called differently in 7.2beta,
it's something like iso646.1991 instead of the expected iso8859-1,
therefore rp3 decides to use the fallback font "fixed" instead, which
is simply TOO BIG to be used inside an applet.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rp3-1.1.10-3

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start rp3 as an applect
2.Watch the numbers shown in the applet
3.They are TOO BIG
	

Actual Results:  The applet looks ugly; most information is lost due to the
numbers
being too big.

Expected Results:  A similar layout as has been available as part of RHL 7.1.

Additional info:

Apply this patch to the sources of the rp3 package:

Comment 1 Manfred Hollstein 2001-10-25 07:50:34 UTC
I just selected the correct version of Red Hat Linux in which this fault occurs,
which is 7.2.


Comment 2 Manfred Hollstein 2002-05-05 08:48:02 UTC
This report can be closed as it is fixed in rp3 which comes with RHL 7.3. See
also <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=62851>

Red Hat Linux is no longer supported by Red Hat, Inc. If you are still
running Red Hat Linux, you are strongly advised to upgrade to a
current Fedora Core release or Red Hat Enterprise Linux or comparable.
Some information on which option may be right for you is available at
