How the Real windows appear

[Comment 2 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) 2003-02-18 05:15:42 UTC]

seems more of a font problem than a realplayer problem.  Spider?

[Comment 3 Spider (RETIRED) 2003-02-18 05:25:58 UTC]

I'm no font expert, but what does "locale" give for an output for you?

[Comment 4 Whit Blauvelt 2003-02-18 12:56:44 UTC]

Yeah, it would make sense as a font problem. Not that I've done anything that should be 
peculiar with the fonts on the system (that I know of). Here's "locale": 
 
# locale 
LANG=POSIX 
LC_CTYPE="POSIX" 
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX" 
LC_TIME="POSIX" 
LC_COLLATE="POSIX" 
LC_MONETARY="POSIX" 
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX" 
LC_PAPER="POSIX" 
LC_NAME="POSIX" 
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX" 
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX" 
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX" 
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX" 
LC_ALL=

okay.. odder and odder..
can you paste the output of "xset q" here? That should show the "Font Path:" string, which is the interesting part.

also can you check that some other Xlib program (xpdf for example) finds its fonts? 

Since the realplayer binary is dynamically linked against X the X version may have something to add (it doesnt use Qt or gtk+ or other toolkits )

[Comment 6 Spider (RETIRED) 2003-06-08 04:52:42 UTC]

is this still an issue?

[Comment 7 Maurice van der Pot (RETIRED) 2004-10-29 11:03:56 UTC]

No response for over a year. Spider, should this be marked RESOLVED/NEEDINFO?

[Comment 8 Whit Blauvelt 2004-10-29 11:17:26 UTC]

Latest version does not have problem.
