As superuser Windowmaker runs, as a user, it aborts saying "no fonts |
| 2 |
found" or similar. |

|
| 4 |
I checked the www.fontconfig.org site and there is hardly any |
| 5 |
documentation there. It was no help. |
| 6 |
|

The www.windowmaker.org site had one tip for possibly solving this |
| 8 |
error- make sure locale is set right, or in worst case, unset the LANG |
| 9 |
variable. None of these ideas worked. Maybe they need to be set before |
| 10 |
compiling Windowmaker??? I don't know. |

Looking at the Windowmaker config files: /etc/X11/WindowMaker/WMGlobal |
| 13 |
and /etc/X11/WindowMaker/Windowmaker and the corresponding ~/GNUStep |
| 14 |
config files, Windowmaker is looking for the Trebuchet MS, Luxi Sans |
| 15 |
font, which does reside in my system in the /usr/share/fonts/TTF |
| 16 |
directory. The TTF directory is included in my xorg.conf file. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
So I tried to hack the ~/GNUStep config files to use different fonts, |
| 19 |
and that did not help either. |

|
| 21 |
A search of the gentoo-user archives didn't find anything. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
So I am at a loss as to why I can't run Windowmaker as a user. |
