Bug#535061: /usr/bin/xfontsel: xfontesel reports no usuable fonts
Ben Whyte
Version: 7.4+1
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/xfontsel
When running xfontsel I get
xfontsel
Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font
Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset
Error: Aborting: no font found
It also seems to be effecting Eterm which reports
Eterm: Error: Unable to load font "-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-*-*-*-c-*-iso10646-1". Falling back on "k14"
Eterm: FATAL: Couldn't load the fallback font either. Giving up.
