Ethereal-users: [Ethereal-users] RE: will not launch: no fonts found / fontconfig problem
Hi,
Just FYI.
I was having a "No fonts found" problem with a new install of
ethereal via darwinports on 10.4.2. "sudo fc-cache" I did not help.
I did a google and found the following message in a mailing list
archive ...

I have been unable to launch ethereal under MacOS 10.4 from X11 and
bash shell.
Installed using Darwinports.
Each time I launch ethereal I get the following error:
$ sudo /opt/local/bin/ethereal
No fonts found; this probably means that the fontconfig
library is not correctly configured. You may need to
edit the fonts.conf configuration file. More information
about fontconfig can be found in the fontconfig(3) manual
page and on http://fontconfig.org
... which didn't seem answered. Anyways, I finally got around the
issue by doing a "sudo port -d selfupdate" to update darwinports and
then a reinstall.
I actually did a "sudo port uninstall ..." and then a "sudo port
install ethereal", but I get the feeling it wouldn't've made a
difference if I hadn't uninstalled, because after the darwinports
update, I go a different set of packages.
Originally, darwinports installed:
