[Bug 2066] Re: Unable to load any usable fontset

[Simon Martin]

I can confirm this behaviour. I modified /etc/environment to LANG="C",
LANGUAGE="C", and things came back to life. I then set it to
LANG="en_GB" and LANGUAGE="en_GB" and it still worked. Now with the
default of LANG="en_GB.UTF-8" and LANGUAGE="en_GB:en" then I get the
font problems.

Definitely looks like a locale problem.
