[Gate-users] XLoadQueryFont warning

[Mark Podesta]

Hi deba999

I was getting the same errors. I was running Gate through an ssh session.

On the machine running the X session (that's the local machine if you were using it like me), the fonts need to be installed (or aliased to another font).
So if you are using ubuntu on the local machine...
sudo apt-get install xfonts-100dpi xfonts-75dpi gsfonts-x11

I don't know which package actually had the fonts, probably you don't need all three, but I installed all three.
Then just restart the X session using the init scripts (or just restart the machine).

Thanks to the guys posting in the following links.

Dear Gate-users,

Does  any one know how to get rid of the vexing WARNING message that shows up on running the /vis/open  command?  How does one load these fonts?
