acer aspire one - no fonts on IDE toolbars
lazarus / 1-Linux

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Lazarus installed and seems to work on the Acer Aspire One running
Linpus Lite (a pared down version of Fedora) but it just shows blank
squares instead of letters on the IDE toolbars. The Source Editor
shows the proper letters for the code and the title bar, but not along
the bottom of the window. It appears as if there is a system font
missing. Does anyone know what font is used for the toolbars?

I have the same problem -- Did you manage to resolve this?

Fixed it!

After much messing about I downloaded three X11 font packages and now
I can use Lazarus on the Aspire!

(It's the Mac next!)

Please, give the reference to these packages.
What exactly packages it is necessary to install?

I think the font packages were:-

xorg-x11-fonts-misc
xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-9-75dpi - 7.2.3.fc8-noarch
xorg-x11.fonts-75dpi - 7.2.3.fc8.noarch
terminus-font-x11 - 4.20-8.fc8.noarch

but what I really did was grab bunches of X11 fonts with the Package
Manger until the IDE worked.

I have installed these packages, but text-labels in system-menus did
not appear 

The New problem: message appears when compiling Lasarus project:
ld -lX11  - file not found
Really, in file /lib/ no file libX11.
Where its take?

Install the development package for X11, for the general answer see
the FAQ.

Has same problem. Recompiled blindly under gtk2. Works just fine.

Yeah, in LCL interface gtk2 is second on the list, keep that in mind

Edit:
Segfaults a lot, though, will try latest snapshot and report back.
Edit2:
Checked out SVN revision 19054. Has not segfaulted back since.

I have Fedora 10, but if you don't have GTK2 on the Acer, you'll sure
be able to install it.
