Description of Problem: Install up2date-gnome without installing various font packages and up2date fails to run due to missing fonts. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [root@foo rhn]# rpm -q up2date-gnome up2date rhnlib gtk+ pygtk2-libglade gnome-python2 up2date-gnome-3.0.7-1 up2date-3.0.7-1 rhnlib-1.0-1 gtk+-1.2.10-22 pygtk2-libglade-1.99.12-7 gnome-python2-1.99.11-8 How Reproducible: Very Steps to Reproduce: 1. Server install, no X. 2. Install up2date-gnome and the minimum packages to get it to install. 3. run up2date with DISPLAY set to a good X server Actual Results: Loads of error messages about missing fonts and null fontsets. Expected Results: up2date window. Additional Information:
Could you include an attachement showing the error messages? It seems to work okay for me here, so I'm wondering which fonts it cant find. If it is looking for X server side fonts, it may be an issue with the Xserver you are using (and/or it's font config).
I guess I have similar problem. I am using X-Win on Windows XP. I try forward up2date to my desktop and the font looks very very small.
Since up2date doesn't use any fonts that are not standard, and I can't reproduce this, I'm putting this into WORKSFORME.
I reproduced this on today's (16-Oct-2003) rawhide release. It's virtually identical to the real old bug 40072. Could the problem be that I don't have the 75 dpi fonts installed, only the 100 dpi fonts? Here's what I get (in my .xsession-errors) upon starting up2date-4.1.7-1: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 1183, in ? sys.exit(main() or 0) File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 845, in main gui.main() File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/gui.py", line 2197, in main gui = Gui() File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/gui.py", line 284, in __init__ style.font = gtk.load_font("-*-helvetica-bold-r-normal--12-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1") I actually don't have that font installed.

I have XFree86-4.3.0-40 and all related packages (excepting the 75dpi fonts). -M
