Description Frode Haugsgjerd 2004-10-27 12:49:30 UTC
Fresh stripped down install of stable x86 with xorg and fluxbox.
Installed ardour jack and hydrogen from unstable.
Most of the fonts are small and unreadable, or just represented with squares, as if they where missing.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.install ardour
2. start ardour
3. watch beautiful squares instead of letters in track names

Comment 1 Frode Haugsgjerd 2004-10-28 00:07:32 UTC
By sorting out some font config issues in xorg.conf, i fixed the unreadable fonts. I now use the recommended font path from the manpage xorg.conf(5x).
I tracked down the fonts represented by a square in /etc/ardour/ardour_ui.rc
The style "track_name_display" is defining a font ardour can't display.
###
style "track_name_display"
{
        font = "-*-lucida-medium-r-*-*-*-100-*-*-*-*-*-*"
        fg[NORMAL] = { 0.99, 0.99, 0.87 }
        fg[ACTIVE] = { 0.99, 0.99, 0.87 }

        base[NORMAL] = { 0.26, 0.26, 0.26 }
        base[ACTIVE] = { 0.26, 0.26, 0.26 }
        bg[NORMAL] = { 0.26, 0.26, 0.26 }
        bg[ACTIVE] = { 0.26, 0.26, 0.26 }
}
###
Strangely xfontsel(1) can display that font just fine.
Changing the style used from "track_name_display" to "medium_text" or other working style, enables ardour to display a font in "widget "*EditorTrackNameDisplay""

Doesn't happen here...all looks good to me. Going to close this as invalid I'm afraid, it sounds like some xorg conf snafu.
