From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020401 Description of problem: The current version of RP3 is using the font -schumacher-clean-medium-r-normal-*-*-80-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1 This font however is called differently since X11R6 - looking at some comments in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias from an earlier version of this file (e.g. Red Hat Linux 7.1) reveals this: ! These fonts are not really ISO8859-1, but these aliases are provided ! for compatibility with X11R5. Those aliases have been omitted beginning with RHL 7.2, hence fonts with such names do not exist anymore. When the "rp3" exec fails to load this font during startup, it's issueing a warning message (e.g. in ~/.xsession-errors): ** WARNING **: Couldn't load fonts for NETMON display and falls back to using the font "fixed". With a standard theme and no fonts changed otherwise (e.g. in ~/.Xdefaults), this looks rather ugly because "fixed" is simply too large for this small applet! The attached patch fixes this. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-config-network-0.9.21-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start rp3 as an applect monitoring "eth0" 2.Watch the numbers shown in the applet 3.They are TOO LARGE Actual Results: The applet looks ugly; most information is lost due to the numbers being too large. Expected Results: A similar layout as has been available as part of RHL 7.1 and earlier. Additional info:
