This is new bug created from an issue first reported in bug #263054. Initial report on this issue there: This version has the same problem as the 10.6 one for me (on amd64). The install goes well (with motif or without). However, the nsplugin, though visible in Firefox's plugin list does not seem to work (nspluginwrapper works perfectly for Flash). The wfica and wfcmgr programs don't work either: $ wfica Error: 12 (E_MISSING_INI_ENTRY) Please refer to the documentation. Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset Error: Aborting: no fontset found $ wfcmgr Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion Warning: Cannot convert string "-gnu-*-*-*-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1,-*-*-medium-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-ksc5601.1987-0,-*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-*-120-75-75-*-*-iso8859-1,-*-ming-*-*-*-*-*-140-*-*-*-*-big5-0,-isas-fangsong ti-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-160-gb2312.1980-0,-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--0-*-75-75-p-*-koi8-r,-*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-*-120-75-75-*-*-iso8859-6,-*-arial-medium-r-*-*-*-120-75-75-*-*-iso8859-6,-*-kacstbook-medium-r-*-*-*-120-75-75-*-*-iso8859-6,-*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-*-120-75-75-*-*-*-*,-*-*-medium-r-*-*-*-120-75-75-*-*-*-*,-*-*-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*" to type FontSet [then the Citrix Receiver splashscreen appears while a lot of repetitions of the message below appear] Warning: No font found. Warning: Name: FONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG_STRING Class: XmRendition Conversion failed. Cannot load font. [The Citrix Reciever window is there, but without any text, which seems to preclude clicking on buttons (except for one, which leads to another window with textless buttons)] What should I do to further diagnose this problem? (I'm only really interested in getting the nsplugin working; I ran the other programs for testing.) The initial response (by Christian Faulhammer): > However, the nsplugin, though visible in Firefox's plugin list does not seem to > work (nspluginwrapper works perfectly for Flash). Better open a separate bug report for it. Hrm, I don't know how one can access the plugin from the outside to see what's wrong...in the end it is a .so file. > Error: Aborting: no fontset found This sounds like a missing dependency. > What should I do to further diagnose this problem? > (I'm only really interested in getting the nsplugin working; I ran the other > programs for testing.) No matter, we will have to fix it. :) Which fonts for X do you have installed? Call eix -I fonts for example.

Call eix -I fonts for example. media-fonts/font-adobe-100dpi That's the only font I have you don't...please emerge and test the interface again. I am still wondering how to debug the browser plugin though.

Now I get: $ wfica Error: 12 (E_MISSING_INI_ENTRY) Please refer to the documentation. Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion Error in configuration file. Section "ApplicationServers" must contain an entry "". $ wfcmgr Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion The ini-entry missing is probably just that and not a bug. The FontSet thing I have no clue about. The gui starts, is ugly, but has text. Some buttons seem to be missing some icons; don't know if this matters; don't think so. But, and you're going to like this: the plugin now works! I've just accessed Acrobat Professional. (Although I'm sorry to say that icaclient appeared in a revdep-rebuild-run, so I'm not sue whether it is the font-problems which stopped the plugin from working.) For me, you can close this bug. Thanks for the help! Erik

I think so, and debugging would have revealed that. > For me, you can close this bug. For me, too. > Thanks for the help! That's what I am here for. Added the missing dependency.
Erik & Christian, many thanks. I fought with this issue tonight before finding this report. Following an xorg-server update, I learned that several libraries had to be re-emerged manually before X would start. Then all was well until I needed the Citrix client, and I got the "Error Aborting..." message. After re-emerging all the fonts in the below list, the issue went away. FWIW, xfontsel would produce the same error - a simpler test case that might help the next guy. Thanks again!

After the xorg-server transition to 1.5.3, some fonts are not automatically installed. To get icaclient (both gui and plugin) working, you also explicitly need font-cursor-misc font-misc-misc
Additional font dependencies added.
