[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 655757] Re: xboard cannot find helvetica font and does not start

[Vincent Legout]

Hello,

You should install xfonts-100dpi or xfonts-75dpi, restart xorg, and
Xboard will run.

Title:
  xboard cannot find helvetica font and does not start

Status in “xboard” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xboard

  I cannot run xboard
  xboard: no fonts match pattern -*-helvetica-bold-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

  This font is supposed to be in xorg-x11-75dpi-fonts and xorg-x11-100dpi-fonts but it is not or not at least with a name that matches.
  Apparently it is possible to run xboard with a font argument but I haven't bothered to sort this out yet.
