Re: gEDA-user: MacOSX 10.4.4 and gschem

OK, I got it working again. Some combination of recompiling gEDA and Pango, mucking with .font.conf, and quitting and restarting XDarwin *finally* coaxed it to life. What a tangled web...

Thanks for your help.

This is a Pango problem.  Personally, I hate Pango since it adds a
whole layer of complexity to GTK, which is already a bloated pig in
the first place.  And with complexity comes bugs.

Check that all your internationalization stuff is correctly
installed.  Also, you could try getting rid of the call to
pango_layout_get_pixel_size() in get_main_menu.  I'm not sure if GTK
will behave correctly without this call, but it might.  Maybe the old
call left over from GTK-1.x is still there and you can try using it?

Maybe one of the I18N experts like Patrick or Carlos know more about
this.

I upgraded to MacOSX 10.4.4, and now gschem gets caught in an
infinite loop on startup. Any help is appreciated as this is an
urgent problem: I'll be on the road next week and I have looming
deadlines, so I'll need to use the PowerBook to get some stuff done.

I'm using Charles Lepple's Fink packages.
