On baudline's blog, it is specified that baudline needs -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-70-iso8859-1 -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-67-iso8859-1 To be installed. For a reason I ignore, under my /usr/share/fonts/75dpi, I get : helvB12.pcf.gz -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-70-iso10646-1 helvR12.pcf.gz -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-67-iso10646-1 Could the difference of charset be the reason for the trouble ?

My /usr/share/fonts/75dpi/fonts.dir lists helvB12-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-70-iso8859-1 helvR12-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-67-iso8859-1 which are both part of media-fonts/font-adobe-75dpi, too. > Could the difference of charset be the reason for the trouble ? I don't think so. (In reply to comment #0) > Starting baudline displays the following error message : > > could not open 10x20 font > could not open 5x7 font ^^ this might be a pixel font specification. `locate 10x20 5x7` shows /usr/share/fonts/misc/10x20.pcf.gz and /usr/share/fonts/misc/5x7.pcf.gz plus some -<encoding>- variants, all belonging to media-fonts/font-misc-misc, bingo. I get the same error w/o this package. Please `emerge -av media-fonts/font-misc-misc` for now, I fix the package. Thanks for the report. +*baudline-1.08-r1 (20 Jul 2012) + + 20 Jul 2012; Michael Weber <xmw@gentoo.org> +baudline-1.08-r1.ebuild: + Revbump to add missing font (thanks Eric F. GARIOUD, bug 426654) + + 20 Jul 2012; Michael Weber <xmw@gentoo.org> -baudline-1.08.ebuild, + baudline-1.08-r1.ebuild: + Transfer stable keywords (old stable was broken), drop old. 1/ Thank you Michael for actually fixing the bug and taking care of this package. The font-misc-misc package was indeed necessary for baudline to start. However 2/ baudline might still refuse to start with the same error. Do not bother with this Michael, I think it's on media-fonts/font-alias responsibility : Bug 427302 That is the reason why I reopen this bug specifying its dependency on Bug 427302 3/ If some users can't wait for Bug 427302 to be fixed, they can : 3.a/ Consider that baudline will need the 5x7 - 7x13 - 10x20 fonts from font-misc-misc. 3.b/ Edit /usr/share/fonts/misc/fonts.alias 3.c/ Change 8859 for 10646 in the lines associated with the aliases previously mentioned 3.d/ Quit and restart X or, if impossible, fire `xset fp rehash` under any xterm. |
