i have install matlab7.0 in my redhat9.0 with right license.dat, but i can 't start my matlab. the error message like this:
$>./matlab
MATLAB: ../../../src/share/native/sun/awt/font/fontmanager/fontobjects/fontObject.cpp:418: const void * fileFontObject::ReadChunk(UInt32, UInt32, void * = 0): Assertion `offset < fFileSize' failed.

i have replaces $MATLAB/sys/java/jre/glnx86/jre1.3.1/lib/font.properties with
/../../font.properties.
and it dose not work also.


i have edit system's documents:/etc/X11/XF86config and /etc/X11/fs/config for add some new fonts.
can you help me ? i starve for matlab in linux. any suggestion will be appreciate.

I don't have the perfect solution for you, but have you tried running Matlab in terminal?
# matlab -nojvm

...this can be a convient way since it doesn't require the fonts if you just doing simple aritmetics (although you will still not be able to look at graphs....)

thank you very much, i know matlab -nojvm and using it .
but i need the graph interface, because the $>matlab -nojvm lost many functions. since i have changed the fonts of system, maybe i can change the default fonts of matlab with system's. could you tell me how to change the fonts of matlab? where is the matlab's fonts?
anyway, thank you very much!

Have you tried this solution?
