You were right... There were tons of output ))) But I've noticed that font related lines start with
writev.
So, with the following command:
Code:
cat xpowerchute.trace | grep writev
I got this:
Code:

I don't know what
XFree86-Bigfont is. I just installed a collection of
fixed fonts,
lucida sans typewriter, and
terminal font by copying them to /usr/share/fonts/, each font in its newly created folder, and then typing a command
mkfontdir in each folder (where file
fonts.dir with a list of fonts was created by that command). I don't know though if this is enough... At least now these fonts appear in the list of available fonts to gnome-terminal.
And finally, the result is the same... The same error. No changes.
Please tell me if I'm doing something wrong or perhaps I've missed something. If you need the whole file xpowerchute.trace, I'll try to upload it somewhere (this site doesn't allow me to post it - it's too large).
