Scratch not working; red crosses appearing all over text

Open Eribetra opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

Scratch is displaying red crosses all over what should be text!

The error is: primSetFont:size:bold:italic:antialias: failed

Maybe it has to do with fonts?

Yes, it has to do with fonts. At a guess you don't have the font files that Cairo/Pango requires and that is a bit of a puzzle because they should all be there by default. Have you changed the language setting at all? I could imagine that some of the language choices would have problems with missing fonts - or characters within the fonts I suppose - and we never could thoroughly test every possible language.

If you could post more info about your set up, and perhaps the 'SqueakDebug.log' file (or something named like that) it might help.

Usually, this happens when the language isn't supported by the font. There really isn't any fix for it...
