Hi too,
it crashes on x_86 (i.e. 32 bit version) too, even after re-installing the xorg-server packages.
xfig won't show the export window before it crashes. What else can I do? Any step-by-step procedure
with xorg-server renewal?
Is there an issue with Athena widgets?
Cheers
Hans-Georg

I agree. It's just a workaround, which also serves to confirm that the issue is font related, until the steps you outline can be taken. >> It seems that xfig requires the font '*-times-medium-r-normal--16-*' for >> that dialog, but that is not one of the sizes provided by >> xorg/font/adobe-*dpi (14 and 17 are the nearest), so we have to allow >> this font to be scaled (or provide a scalable font which also matches >> that XLFD) > > Fedora carries the following patch (among others): > > http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/xfig.git/tree/xfig-3.2.5-urwfonts.patch > > We currently provide the URW fonts in ghostscript-fonts-std.
