[mcclim-devel] clim-demo::demodemo fails with some kind of font problem

[Larry Clapp]

Hello, McClimmers,

I run Debian GNU/Linux, mostly "stable", some "testing".  I'm using SBCL.

I followed the instructions here (http://mcclim.cliki.net/GettingStarted) and
got clean compiles on everything.  (Well, I never got the debugger, at least,
so I assume they were clean.  :)

The clim demo fails with some kind of font problem:

I *think* this is the relevant part of the backtrace:

So I guess

  #<CLIM:STANDARD-TEXT-STYLE :SANS-SERIF :ROMAN :HUGE>

gets transformed into

  -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--24-173-100-100-p-0-iso8859-1

but I don't actually have that font on my system:

  % xlsfonts | grep -e -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--24-173-100-100-p-0-iso8859-1
  % 

Any advice?  (Hopefully other than "install
-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--24-173-100-100-p-0-iso8859-1". :)

Thanks!
