Title: Linux: No Text will display
Post by: meralias on February 03, 2005, 06:11:55 am

Hello,

  I\'ve just tried installing using the Linux installer, and also tried following the CVS instructions for Gentoo. Both compiled correctly from what I can tell, however none of the applications display any text. I\'ve tried the pssetup, updater and psclient apps and all that I can see are the images, text boxes and check boxes. Anything typed into a text box also doesn\'t display. Theres no error messages that I can see that would explain the issue. I\'m using X.Org 6.8.0, and have the freetype2 libs installed. The walktext and cel demos, along with various other apps, all work fine.

From running updater -verbose, this is a part of the output:

Any ideas?

Very interesting problem.. sadly I don\'t have a solution as that is the exact same problem my Macromedia Flash is experiencing.

Have you looked at the configure output for CS and planeshift in detail? Maybe there is a clue there.
