Re: GNUstep app won't start

[Adam Fedor]

It could be your machine has some weird fonts and the X server does not 
read them correctly. Perhaps try something like:


defaults write NSGlobalDomain GSFontMask "*iso8859-13"
font_cacher

 (or using a different character set, like iso8859-2) to limit the 
fonts. Or it's a bug in Solaris X11 (maybe gdb and break on 
XGetAtomName).

Or you could use the art backend.
