I'm having trouble with the text displayed by applications, such
as GWorkspace and ViewPDF, coming out as a large fixed-pitch font
(Courier?) instead of the small sans-serif font that it used to be
in. This is since rebuilding GNUstep from the latest source -
gnustep-make 1.10.0, base 1.10.3, and gui and back 0.9.5. Previous
versions were make and base 1.10.0, and gui and back 0.9.4.

If the application is run from a terminal, it outputs error messages
of the form:

  GWorkspace[8813] The font specified for NSFont, Helvetica, can't
  be found.

Helvetica is present on the system; it's one of the X core bit-mapped
fonts. But presumably applications are now meant to use the fonts in
the directory /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Fonts/Helvetica.nfont
(though they actually seem to be Nimbus Sans rather than Helvetica)?

Can anyone suggest what I need to do to get the right fonts picked up,
or alternatively to diagnose the problem?


Whcih backend are you using? The art backend is the only one using the nfonts, for xlib we did change the default some time ago to anti-aliased fonts. Perhaps you just need to switch that of, if you are using this backend.

Cheers
Fred
