Hello!
I am using a developer version of Lyx.
I found the following:
If I specify a non-existent font for screen_font_popup
and screen_font_menu value in lyxrc, lyx will crash when
trying to open a menu.
Here is what I have in lyxrc:
\screen_font_encoding ascii-0
\screen_font_roman "-monotype-web*hebrew*ad"
\screen_font_sans "-monotype-web*hebrew*monospace"
\screen_font_typewriter "-monotype-web*hebrew*monospace"
\screen_font_popup "-*-fixed"
\screen_font_menu "-*-fixed"
No font exists for pattern -*-fixed-*-*-*-?-*-*-*-*-ascii-0.
The messages produced are:
Could not set menu font to -*-fixed-*-*-*-?-*-*-*-*-ascii-0
Could not set popup font to -*-fixed-*-*-*-?-*-*-*-*-ascii-0
Unable to open character set file
BadFont (invalid Font parameter)
[3] Abort /usr/devel/bin/lyx
The correct behaviour would be to use fixed font
(and possibly open a popup to warn the user about it).
Generally, if a font is not found, a popup window should be open.
Currently, only a message is printed to standard error.
Hope this helps,
MST
