[Nautilus-list] CVS Nautilus does not find a default font

[mawarkus t-online de (Matthias Warkus)]

Hi. I hope I'm not getting on your nerves with this, but I'm trying to
keep a fresh Nautilus running every day, especially since I've got
some screenshots to take of it for an article about Nautilus I'm
currently writing (argh! deadline! argh!).

When I updated the CVS module and recompiled today, this was the
result:

===BEGIN OUTPUT===
libpng warning: Invalid cHRM white point

** WARNING **: There is no such font: helvetica

Gtk-WARNING **: invalid cast from (NULL) pointer to
`NautilusScalableFont'

** ERROR **: file nautilus-scalable-font.c: line 935
(nautilus_scalable_font_get_default_font): assertion failed:
(global_default_font != NULL)
aborting...
Aborted
====END OUTPUT====

Changing the hard-coded default font family in
nautilus-scalable-font.c did not change anything. Oh, and of course
I've got helvetica fonts on my system, xfontsel displays them just
fine :)

This occurred with today's CVS version without me having changed
anything relevant about the configuration (i.e. I did not diddle with
X font paths or such).  However, some details about my system:

SuSE Linux 6.1 (i386)
Linux audrey 2.2.16 #12 Sat Jun 24 11:16:14 MEST 2000 i586 unknown
CVS GNOME (>1.2.1)
XFree86 4.0, March 8th, 2000
glibc 2.0

I am not subscribed to the list, so please Cc your reply to
mawarkus gnome org or mawa iname com  If you want me to subscribe to
the list because there will be much further discussion, tell me, and
I'll do so.


Thanks in advance for any help,

mawa
