missing Font?

[reggler]

Hi,

I have an application that shows unreadable characters when I launch it.
And on the shell I see this when I launch it:

# /root/Portal/Portal

(Portal:14892): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "oxygen-gtk",

(Portal:14892): Pango-WARNING **: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pango/1.6.0/modules/pango-basic-fc.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

(Portal:14892): Pango-WARNING **: failed to choose a font, expect ugly output. engine-type='PangoRenderFc', script='latin'

(Portal:14892): Pango-WARNING **: failed to choose a font, expect ugly output. engine-type='PangoRenderFc', script='common'

What am I missing?

Thank you!
Ron

Is "Portal" a 32-bit game, perhaps, that you want to run in Wine? If so, did you install all the 32-bit libraries?

Portal ois not a game but yes, I assume it's 32bit. I do not run it in wine as it's required to control some usb hardware.
See this link: http://www.synapse-wireless.com/inde...oduct&prodID=1
Also, what areall the 32-bit libraries?

[SteveRiley]

My first clue was "wrong EFL class: ELFCLASS64" -- this is a common error when a 32-bit application is trying to load libraries that don't exist. Do you have ia32-libs-multiarch installed? Also, is this a Java program?

I didn't have "ia32-libs-multiarch
" so I installed it but doesn't look like it fixed things I'm not sure if the application is Java,

[SteveRiley]

OK, so the problem lies elsewhere. Other common reports of the errors you see indicate some missing font files. Let's take a look at what you already have.

dpkg -l | awk '/ttf|font/ {print $2 $3}'

Have you run this application before on another KDE based distro?

Yes, it ran just fine before I updated to Kubuntu 12.04 (on 11.10)

Steve, Thanks! I'll do that, first thing when I get top the office.

OK, so you already have all the font packges most people report as solving the problem. Perhaps your font cache needs regenerating:

sudo fc-cache -vfs

If that doesn't work, I'd suggest Googling on those error messages. Font problems can arise from a variety of issues, and there are several workarounds.

I recached but same thing:

reg@desktop-reg:~$ sudo /root/Portal/Portal

I have tried to find my answer with google before I even posted this thread, with no success...

If your 11.10 install was a 32 bit system then this is the likely cause of the problem. Is there a 64 bit version of the app available?

In any case it seems your app is unable to access your current oxygen-GTK theme.

Try looking at your app in Muon, and checking the 'Installed files' for any more clues...

11.10 was 64-bit as well.
I looked at Muon but am not sure how to check the 'installed files' there... could you please be a bit more specific as to where I should be looking for something?
Thanks,
Ron

I'd be looking for any locations that include 'lib64' as a starting point.
Hopefully the number of installed files for 'Portal' is minimal, and you could look through those to check where it might be looking for oxygen-gtk.

Others here more knowlegeable on the .gtkrc-2.0 link issue might offer some suggestions...
