Bug#366347: xfonts-base: Some programs fail to start with no ISO8859 fonts error
You closed this as a user config issue, but it appears to be a known
upstream issue with xpdf which is still open (maybe the user config soln
is a work around?):
quoting from:
http://zinser.no-ip.info/vms/sw/notes/xpdf.htmlx
****************quote**************************
Currently open issues
The following issues were reported by OpenVMS users of Xpdf. They are
acknowledged by the author of Xpdf and should be resolved during the
next couple of maintenance releases
During startup of Xpdf the message Warning: Cannot convert string
"-*-times-medium-r-normal--16-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct is
displayed
This message can be safely ignored. This particular font is used
only inside of the "About" window of Xpdf. It will be replaced in there
by a default font. The display of PDF documents is not affected at all
by this.
The solution will make the font settable via an Xresource.
The same behaviour can be observed on Linux systems.
