Hi,
several days ago another user reported of this problem, now I have the
same. But I can not solve this problem, following all the suggestions.
I have upgraded SuSE Linux 7.2 -> 7.3 and Mathematica 4.1.0 -> 4.1.2
xlsfonts | wc -l responds with "9205" and I have corrected the second
line in the file Specific.tr
In /usr/local/mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts there are two
subdirectories:
first directory: Type1
second directory: X
I get the Startup Warning:
"The front end could not locate a CharacterEncoding file for the
requested encoding (ISO10646-1)"
Pressing "continue" leads to a stderr-message:
Actions not found: delete-next-character
which is repeated six times in this window
pressing "close" opens another stderr-window with the same error-message
(but now: 7 times repeated).
If I use:
xrdb /opt/kde/share/config/kdmrc
the "Actions not found"-error doesn#t appear any longer, but a Startup
Warning occurs and all the characters appear as small boxes, also in
"Untitled-1" etc.
Using
xset fp+ /usr/local/mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/{Type1 | X}
as suggested makes no change.
I would be very very happy if someone can give me a hint how to overcome
this problem.
Thank you very much.
Harald
P.S.: The kdmrc-file mentioned above contains the following lines:
