I can reproduce it after uninstalling package "ghostscript-fonts-std". This is related to the bitmap font fontpaths being set to unscalable (since scaled bitmap fonts are looking very ugly!). But why did you uninstall this font package ignoring the dependancies? It's a hard requirement! Workaround (if you insist on ugly scaled bitmap fonts): xset fp- /usr/share/fonts/75dpi:unscaled xset fp+ /usr/share/fonts/75dpi:scaled -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

If it's installed, then probably SuSEconfig.fonts didn't run afterwards. Well, we got rid of SUSEconnfig without proper replacing it before with some working solution ...

I believe SuSEconfig.fonts exists still in openSUSE 12.2. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Therefore I am not the right assignee. What I "know" from hearsay is that applications should "somehow automatically" find all fonts in all sub-directores below /usr/share/fonts/ Can someone who knows about fonts describe (or provide an URL to up-to.date documentation) how applications nowadays find their fonts? Regarding Ghostscript fonts: The default and fallback directory where Ghostscript expects its fonts is /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts. This is where the ghostscript-fonts packages install their fornt files. Since bnc#778879 the ghostscript-fonts package in the "Printing" project provides the symlink /usr/share/fonts/ghostscript which points to /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts. If applications find all fonts in all sub-directores below /usr/share/fonts/ applications should also find the Ghostscript fonts via the above symlink. Christian Trippe, do you have this symlink, compare https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=778879#c2 Werner, does xfig perhaps have a setting that it looks for Ghostscript fonts only in /usr/share/fonts/URW? Or does xfig perhaps try to use in any case fonts in a /usr/share/fonts/URW directory and shows the error message when this directory does not exist? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

xset +fp /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts/ solves the problem (which it does for me!),

and if the fix for #778879 adds a softlink from "/usr/share/fonts/ghostscript" -> "/usr/share/ghostscript/fonts" to the ghostscript-fonts package, why not add "/usr/share/fonts/ghostscript" to the default font path of the xserver during install of the ghostscript-fonts package as well? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
