Error in fonts:

I have tried matlab, and it works perfect...but it has this error. I think it's not for matlab, because it happens to me before, in the XMMS. What can I do for that?. I think it lacks a font... or something similar. thank you for all.

 

Maybe info here will help you resolve it?

Your app is probably an older one using gtk1.

Cheers.

 

Thank you!. But it says "where you install the new font" I don't see where to download the font gtk1 (even I don't know if it's a font). I'm sorry, I'm new in this system; and usually I don't know what to do. Thank you again mr

 

Maybe this will be of assistance- it solved a similar problem I had with another program:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gtk1Fonts

 

Thank you for the fix. But it doesn't work to me. I don't know if it is because I don't know how to do it exactly (because when they say ~/.gtkrc; I don't know where is ~). So, if you can help me to fix it. I'll have to use matlab and simulink this course, and I need it works good. Thank you very much

 

Well, if you're working at the command line you shouldn't need to know where ~ is, because you can just type ~. It is expanded by the shell to the user home directory. If you're not working at the command line, then you probably need to create the file

/home/user/.gtkrc

and, yes, .gtkrc does start with a full-stop

 

Then, I did it correctly; but it doesn't work. There is something that have this installed and it works good? without the error fonts. I don't get how to fix it... thank you for all.

 

I don't have Mathematica (I prefer Octave ) so I can't test this. Can you demonstrate how you got the problem with XMMS? I have XMMS and it works fine, but if I can replicate your problem with XMMS then at least I can investigate. At the moment it seems that the only way to get to the bottom of the problem is to install Mathematica, and I'm not too keen on that.

 

I have reinstalled the xmms to show you the error. But now it works. So, simulink problem must be different. So, the fix that you have said me works, but with the xmms. What can I do with simulink? have you tried to use malab on your AAO?. thank you

 

I'm sorry but, as I said, I prefer Octave. I don't think Matlab would even fit on my AAO, with all those additional bits. What Linux distributions/versions is Matlab _supposed_ to run on? Is there an official list of system requirements?

 

Hi, again.

I haven't tried octave; but I have to use matlab, because it's required by my studies; so I don't have way. I know that it works good in a lot of linux distributions, even fedora. So, I think, this is a problem that it can be solved; but not by my poor linux acknowledge. There is a very good tutorial in spanish about how to install matlab and simulink; but they doesn't say nothing about this error. Well, I'll go on looking for...; if I get the fix, I'll put it here . Thank you

By the way, matlab works fine in AAO; at least, until I have seen.

 

By accident I might have stumbled upon the solution which is glaringly obvious with hindsight: you also need X11 fonts installed. They were automatically installed for dependencies when I installed xemacs with

Code:

sudo yum install xemacs

Mathematica 5 (yes, old version I know) now displays everything correctly.

 

hi, thanks!

I have done that, but when I'm going to do that; it starts to download things and when it's going to install the things; it says that there are dependencies; I don't know why...and...it's normal that it takes 223mb in downloaded files.?? When I'm going to install some of that dependencies, it says to me that it's still installed. Thank you for all .

 

Hmm. Did you ever update the repository info, as mentioned in.. well.. practically all topics ?

Code:

sudo yum update fedora-release

And no, it should take less than 20 mb. Let alone 223 mb.

 

lol , thanks.... I haven't read it before; sorry. I'll try it in some hours, so I say you the result. Thanks!

 

Hi again, i have installed a repository before, but now, I don't need, but I don't know how to remove it. I have tried to do that by the install/remove programs (software).

[user@localhost ~]$ sudo yum update fedora-release
Setting up Update Process

What can I do? , thank you very much. I'm very bad in linux xDD
