• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Mike Hlavac 2006-02-23 20:28:59 UTC]

I have verified that this package works for alpha.
Please add the ~alpha KEYWORDS to games-arcade/koules-1.4-r1

I had a problem starting the game. It complains about not being able to load a font, but it doesn't say which font it tries to load, nor where it looks for the font. I recently upgraded to modular X, so it might be a modular X related bug. I was going to use strace to figure out what font file it was trying to load, but no version of strace would compile for me, Bug #129017. I'll look into the source code to see if I can find where it looks for the font so that I can file a bug on it. Once the font issue is fixed I'll test it again.

I can confirm the problems when using modular Xorg.  Using strace doesn't provide much information as to which font was attempted to be opened.  Attachment of the actual output of strace coming up.

Can you confirm that this bug exists on other architectures or is it just alpha?

I tried out koules-1.4-r2 and it works for me, so I added ~alpha to it.
