Run gnumeric Expected Results: No complaining about missing character set. Additional info:
The error messages there are accurate, those fonts don't support ISO-8859-15 (no euro symbol). I'm not sure there's a lot we can do about it, other than become fontographers... does Gnumeric still start up and use some fallback font?
Yes, it will start and it uses fallback font.
Yeah, this is quite hard to fix, and only cosmetic. It will naturally go away when we move to the GTK2-based Gnumeric with the new sane font setup. Thanks
Would you call it cosmetic problem if dollar sign would be missing? ;-) Ok, I'll wait, I don't have that much euros anyway. ;-)
