Hi all,
My PhD dissertation is due in a few weeks and I'm having some kind of
problem with fonts that's preventing me from viewing my thesis.
This is a new computer (my old one died at the *worst* possible moment.
Luckily, I'm *really* good about backing everything up), so it's a fresh
Debian/testing installation and I'm trying to iron out bugs as quickly as
possible so I can get back to writing.
I normally view my thesis using gv, but gv segfaults:
$ gv dissertation.ps
Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
xdvi also fails to run:
$ xdvi dissertation.dvi
X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range
for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 45 (X_OpenFont)
Value in failed request: 0xe00004
Serial number of failed request: 27
Current serial number in output stream: 28
xfontsel also seems to have a problem:
FreeType: couldn't open face
/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType/ds=y:VeraMono.ttf: 1
On the console behind X, this error message is printed:
FreeType: couldn't open face
/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType/ds=y:VeraMono.ttf: 1
But this doesn't look like fatal error to me. I really need to get writing
ASAP. Can someone please help?
Thanks,
Peter
