I can confirm the bug. To reproduce just call: display /usr/share/backgrounds/Ubuntu-Simple_Human_1600x1200.png Or if you have graphicsmagick instead of imagemagck installed: gm display /usr/share/backgrounds/Ubuntu-Simple_Human_1600x1200.png
Using "-font fixed" is really an ugly workaround. Normally using display should just work. -- [edgy, libmagick] any display command (shell w/o additional arguments, magickcore, magick++ etc) fails because of missing fonts making especially c/c++ API's useless as one cannot change settings there https://launchpad.net/bugs/60155 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
