Hide Forgot
Description of Problem: When I start Xchat, it pops up to warning dialogs. They say: Cannot open font: -*-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-c-*-*-* I did a custom install without legacy X servers, if that helps.
What xchat version-release, what XFree86 version-release? Please always indicate this information when reporting bugs against rawhide or betas. There was a fixed font problem in XFree86 which was fixed in 4.2.0-6.52
Sorry 'bout that. [minter@localhost minter]$ rpm -q xchat xchat-1.8.8-4 [minter@localhost minter]$ rpm -q XFree86 XFree86-4.2.0-6.52 [minter@localhost minter]$
Try xchat 1.8.8-5. Also make sure you've got 4.2.0-6.52 packages of ALL of the XFree86 rpm's, including fonts. rpm -qa |grep XFree86 The font XLFD you've given above results in a small fixed font on my machine.
Moved to -5, same font problem. [minter@localhost minter]$ rpm -qa |grep XFree86 XFree86-libs-4.2.0-6.52 XFree86-font-utils-4.2.0-6.52 XFree86-100dpi-fonts-4.2.0-6.52 XFree86-4.2.0-6.52 XFree86-xdm-4.2.0-6.52 XFree86-ISO8859-15-100dpi-fonts-4.2.0-6.52 XFree86-xfs-4.2.0-6.52 XFree86-75dpi-fonts-4.2.0-6.52 XFree86-ISO8859-15-75dpi-fonts-4.2.0-6.52 XFree86-twm-4.2.0-6.52 XFree86-devel-4.2.0-6.52 XFree86-base-fonts-4.2.0-6.52 XFree86-tools-4.2.0-6.52 [minter@localhost minter]$ And I've noticed the small font, too, on my laptop. Seems smaller than 7.2's version of xchat.
Please try upgrading to 4.2.0-6.666 or later. Many font issues are fixed now. If it works, please close bug as fixed in RAWHIDE
I'm getting the following: Cannot open font: -abisource-arial-regular-r-normal-*-*-90-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1 Here the details: haring (jturner):~ > rpm -qa | grep XFree86 XFree86-font-utils-4.2.0-6.666 XFree86-ISO8859-15-75dpi-fonts-4.2.0-6.666 XFree86-tools-4.2.0-6.666 XFree86-ISO8859-15-100dpi-fonts-4.2.0-6.666 XFree86-base-fonts-4.2.0-6.666 XFree86-devel-4.2.0-6.666 XFree86-100dpi-fonts-4.2.0-6.666 XFree86-4.2.0-6.666 XFree86-twm-4.2.0-6.666 XFree86-libs-4.2.0-6.666 XFree86-75dpi-fonts-4.2.0-6.666 XFree86-xfs-4.2.0-6.666 XFree86-xdm-4.2.0-6.666
Is -6.666 in rawhide? I don't see it on ftp.beta...
The problem seems to go away with XFree86-4.2.0-7 in Rawhide.
