HI,

I followed Alien Bob's way to setup multilib slackware. But when I ran acroread x86_32, I found that all fonts are in square blocks (English or Chinese). Following is some terminal output, apparently choosing a font failed, what to do?

bash-4.1$ acroread
dirname: missing operand
Try `dirname --help' for more information.

(acroread:13851): Pango-CRITICAL **: No modules found:
No builtin or dynamically loaded modules were found.
PangoFc will not work correctly.
This probably means there was an error in the creation of:
'/etc/pango/pango.modules'
You should create this file by running:
pango-querymodules > '/etc/pango/pango.modules'

(acroread:13851): Pango-WARNING **: failed to choose a font, expect ugly output. engine-type='PangoRenderFc', script='latin'

For the GTK warnings:

For the square fonts: if you haven't commented out anything in rc.M, then the fonts should be working on your next reboot.

Thanks for your help. Problem solved after I did:

1. Adding "export GTK_PATH=/usr/lib/gtk-2.0" to the head of file /opt/Adobe/Reader9/bin/acroread
2. Run original version of /etc/rc.d/rc.M once.
