I don't know if this is a RH Linux 7.3 problem, or an
HDL designer problem, but when HDL designer starts up
I get the following error message:
Error:Could not create fontset for font
'-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--14-100-100-100-p-82-ISO8859-1'
The following characters can not be drawn with this font
ISO8859-15
I'm sure this font is installed because I can select in the
Gnome Font Selector.
I wonder if it's an issue with HDL Des1gner, then.
In my case, the program _seems_ to run fine, and the
menu items, text, etc. look OK. I just hate to see those
error messages...
Does RH 6.2 use the xfs font server to manage fonts,
or is the FontPath hard-coded in the X-windows
configuration file?? I'm thinking of disabling xfs and
letting X manage the fonts directly to see if that helps...
I'm having the same problem with Gentoo and HDL Designer 2006.1
I've also noticed there's a support bulliten on Mentor's Website, but i'm not able to access it:
"TechNote mg25665: HDL Designer: Error when invoking tool on Linux RedHat 8.0 or Fedora"
"Symptoms Error when invoking HDL Designer on Linux RedHat 8.0 or Fedora Error: Could not create FontSet for font '-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*'. The following character sets cannot be drawn with this font: Solutions"
