[McIDAS #BZU-651546]: Interesting in McIDAS X Free



Hi Boris,

No, this indicates that a font used as the default in the McIDAS 'mctext'
application is not installed on your machine.  Here is what you need to
do to get rid of this annoying message:

<as 'root'>
yum install xorg-x11-fonts-misc

While you are at it, I would also install a couple of additional font packages:

yum install xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi
yum install xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi

Cheers,

Tom
