What else can I do? Any step-by-step procedure with xorg-server renewal? Is there an issue with Athena widgets?I'd suggest, as an alternative workaround, with the current server: ln -s /usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi /etc/X11/fontpath.d/xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi:pri=40I'm not sure we should recommend this.
I agree.It's just a workaround, which also serves to confirm that the issue is font related, until the steps you outline can be taken.
It seems that xfig requires the font '*-times-medium-r-normal--16-*' for that dialog, but that is not one of the sizes provided by xorg/font/adobe-*dpi (14 and 17 are the nearest), so we have to allow this font to be scaled (or provide a scalable font which also matches that XLFD)Fedora carries the following patch (among others): http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/xfig.git/tree/xfig-3.2.5-urwfonts.patch We currently provide the URW fonts in ghostscript-fonts-std. That should be rebuilt to add a symlink in /etc/X11/fontpath.d, and xfig rebuilt with that patch (and possibly others from that set as well).
