#16083: gnumeric row/column labels show broken character box instead of the letter/number -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: bzbarsky@mit.edu | Owner: macports-tickets@lists.macosforge.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Comment(by aoeumacports@brinckerhoff.org): I'm also experiencing this problem, and it appears to be related to an inability to specify the Header font in the preferences pane. In particular, going to "preferences" and attempting to choose a "Header" font signals this error: ** (gnumeric:31326): CRITICAL **: go_format_ref: assertion `gf != NULL' failed ... which suggests that 'gf' contains a reference to the header font, and that it's not currently set.

I have ghostscript installed as well, and I still see boxes instead of fonts. I wonder which font it tries to display, is there a way of telling? -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/16083#comment:10> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

If cairo and pango is installed with +quartz, gnumeric shows boxes instead of numbers. If cairo and pango are installed without +quartz, gnumeric shows proper numbers in the column/row headers. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/16083#comment:12> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

#16083: gnumeric row/column labels show broken character box instead of the letter/number -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: bzbarsky@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Component: ports Version: 1.6.0 | Resolution: worksforme Keywords: | Port: gnumeric -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Comment(by mike@…): I reopened this bug because building the quartz variant is still broken. There are good reasons to use this variant. For me, all of gnumeric's text is fine *except* the row/column labels. The row/column labels show up as character boxes as noted in the original report. Is it possible that this problem exists because goffice links against /opt/local/lib/libpangoft2-1.0.0.dylib? The ft2 implies freetype, which should not be used (quartz should be used). -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/16083#comment:17> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
