http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-300287.html Try changing the default font: http://www.gnome.org/~shaunm/admin-guide/gconf-9.html (since you said you were using xfce ) Report back with results, Thanks!
I've try to change the font in xfce4, but nothing change (times,utopia,etc..)
when you say "nothing change", does that mean you were unsuccessful in changing the font, or that even after changing the font, the programs still crash with the same error?
successfuly change the font, but that wasn't the good font (I've changed the font of the window manager but not of the user interface ...) So I'm really sorry, when changing the font, that works. thanks
great, thanks for the quick responses!
on a side note, it might be interesting to report the crashing font upstream, things shouldn't crash after all. You should probably see where it breaks with gdb (i guess most likely freetype, xft or fontconfig) and report to those devs.
same problem here, i have tried to change the default font as indicate in the suggested link: http://www.gnome.org/~shaunm/admin-guide/gconf-9.html i have run these at shell: gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --type string --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/desktop_font "Bitstream Vera Sans" gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory --type string --set /desktop/gnome/interface/font_name "Bitstream Vera Sans" but nothing changed, the problem persist; maybe i have used a wrong gconftool command? if so, what is the right command to change font to all applications by gconftool?
re-opened due to another person with the same issue. @Toffanin [WiredTEK]: are you also running xfce4? Could you include your emerge info along with a description of your X environment? First, please do this command to show the current font: gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename and report back. Thanks!
that gconftool-2 command was supposed to be: gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/interface/font_name
