Missing font for Properties Editor and LSW

chil
chil over 13 years ago

I am unable to see some of the text in the instance property editor and LSW (screenshot attached). Based on the following thread, it appears to be that I am missing a font on my system. Apparently this font is used in old Motif interfaces.

Can anyone tell me what the font is that I am missing so that I can install it?

Thanks

    Hi

    Actually when I run cadence (virtuoso) I get this font error:

    *WARNING* Unable to find font name: "-*-courier-medium-r-*-*-12-*".

    *WARNING* Cannot find textFont.  Trying font "fixed".

    *WARNING* Unable to find font name: "-*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-12-*".

    *WARNING* Using the text font to present labels.

    *WARNING* Unable to find font name: "-*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-14-*".

    *WARNING* Using the text font for Help dialogs.

    *WARNING* Unable to find font name: "-*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-12-*".

     

     

    I don't know where can I find these fonts, how can I CHANGE the default fonts etc.

    Could you please help on this?

    Thanks
