Hi Riccardo,

the errors you see seem to be related the windoe manager... as a test, could you try to isntall and run WindowMaker?

When I try WindowMaker I get fewer error messages about the window layout and reparenting but still have the same outcome with the missing text on all the controls. (Again, titlebar is spared).

I don't think they are the ultimate error, I think you have font issues.

Agreed — that seems likely... but it is odd that there is no font error.

I have thus a couple of question further to what Fred asked you
1) are you running code from GIT or stable releases?

I’m running the latest from git on all systems. 

2) is the code compiled by you or are they ready packages?

Compiled myself on all 3 distributions (the non-working KDE Neon distribution,  the working Armbian distribution, and the working remote Amazon Arm Ubuntu distribution.)

3) please try to install Helvetica on your system as a font

I will get a hold of Helvetica and transfer it over. (Haven’t done this yet.)

4) could you try starting Terminal? maye does the terminal work but not the UI?

Ok—I compiled Terminal 0.9.9 from source from the link here: http://wiki.gnustep.org/index.php/Terminal.app

It crashes (Segfaults) on both the KDE Neon and on the Armbian system. It also segfaults under WindowMaker under both systems.  I will paste some logs below. 

I’m curious as to why Terminal.app is crashing on Armbian even when Gorm.app works...!  Will peek into this. 

check your global preferences for Fonts... e.g.

defaults read | grep Font

I have no defaults set. The only default I ever had set was the hinting one I was testing out as proposed by Fred. 

Thank you,

Patryk
