gnome-terminal 2.2.1crash

[Wei Wang <ww220 cam ac uk>]

Hi,

I just had gnome2.2 installed. But the gnome-terminal 2.2 crashes everytime
I launch it. The error message says:


Xlib:  extension "RENDER" missing on display ":0.0".
The program 'gnome-terminal' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 448 error_code 11 request_code 53 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

I did some google but didn't come up with anything that I could understand.

Another thing is that I keep getting ugly fonts in powershell. Where does
 powershell read font from?  I installed truetype fonts from a debian package
 msttcorefonts and get satisfactory fonts in galeon. The font file resides
in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ and /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType. And I quoted them in XF86Config-4. 

On another machine I get very good fonts from "fixed (misc)". But on this machine, this font is "a 2-byte font and may not be displayed correctly". It simply cannot be loaded. 


Many thanks,

Wei Wang
