I can't test it now, but looking at the current system.twmrc only media-fonts/font-adobe-100dpi is needed as it doesn't use any -75- font. Could you try to make it work without any adobe fonts? Maybe using the "fixed" font? I'll patch twm to use that instead of forcing an old font onto users. Thanks Now the problem is different: if twm can find the font it prints this warning: twm: warning: font for charset JISX0208.1983-0 is lacking. twm: warning: font for charset KSC5601.1987-0 is lacking. twm: warning: font for charset GB2312.1980-0 is lacking. This happens with every tested font (terminus, verdana, dejavu and others) and it is repeated for every font line specified in /usr/share/X11/twm/system.twmrc . My locale is: LANG=it_IT.utf8 LC_CTYPE="it_IT.utf8" LC_NUMERIC="it_IT.utf8" LC_TIME="it_IT.utf8" LC_COLLATE=C LC_MONETARY="it_IT.utf8" LC_MESSAGES="it_IT.utf8" LC_PAPER="it_IT.utf8" LC_NAME="it_IT.utf8" LC_ADDRESS="it_IT.utf8" LC_TELEPHONE="it_IT.utf8" LC_MEASUREMENT="it_IT.utf8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="it_IT.utf8" LC_ALL= and i'm using unicode use flag. P.S.: - This link can be useful: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=3636163 - I tested media-fonts/font-adobe-100dpi, but same problem. Hello, this is still a current issue. I've hit it yesterday when installing gentoo from scratch. I installed stage3, then emerge-webrsync, updated world, installed kernel. Then I emerged xorg-server, then xterm and after that twm, to have working X, and continue with the installation process in X. but upon starting twm (either from xterm, or adding it to .xinitrc) I got twm: unable to open fontset "-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*" exactly the same error as more than 10 years ago :) The solution was simple: emerge media-fonts/font-adobe-75dpi Still it would be nice if the dependency was fixed in the ebuild.
