186534 - freeze on startup after Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_font is NULL or not a fontset.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 136144

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Michael Grant]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020827
Build Identifier: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.2.1/mozilla-sparc-sun-solaris2.8.tar.gz

After starting mozilla, it brings up the first window (in my case, it'sa mail
window).  It draws everything except what's in the message window (it usually
says something about Mozilla there by default), and then freezes.  The following
message comes out in the shell window:

Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_font is NULL or not a fontset.

When I say it freezes, it doesn't even redraw, so if another window crosses the
mozilla window, all I see is the splotch of a window dragged across something
which didn't redraw itself to clean up afterwards.

I do not have this problem with the following version:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020827



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. untar mozilla in my home dir
2. cd mozilla
3. ./mozilla

Actual Results:  
Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_font is NULL or not a fontset.

Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_font is NULL or not a fontset.

and then it freezes


I have seen this before on older beta versions prior to 1.0.  I think it might
be a dependency on some shared library that I have which is not the expected
version, but I have no way of knowing.

Here's the libgdk libs I have installed, they were installed as part of gnome:

I'm not so fimilar with this Version of Solaris/Sun/etc. :), but this might be
dupe of Bug 136144 (Google Groups helps :)

Another thing: Using a Forte-compiled gtk might probably solve your problem.
