Feh not finding default font path [SOLVED]

firecat53 · 2011-01-24 00:32:08

Just noticed that feh no longer finds the default font path (/usr/share/feh/fonts), so when running 'feh -F test.jpg', the image appears, but any right click crashes it with the following error:

[firecat53@scotty wallpapers]$ feh -F *jpg
giblib warning: couldn't load font yudit/10, attempting to fall back to fixed.
giblib warning: failed to even load fixed! Attempting to find any font.
feh ERROR: couldn't load menu font yudit/10, did you make install?
Are you specifying a nonexistant font?
Did you tell feh where to find it with --fontpath?

Adding the path with --fontpath works fine, but this didn't used to be default behavior. I can obviously work around it several ways, but I wanted to see if anyone else was suffering from this before I submitted a bug report. Or if I just messed something up

Edit: Fixed in newest upgrade today

(First post, been loving Arch for about 6 months now.)

Same problem here. Just built from the upstream source and it looks like it was built wrong:

$ strings /usr/bin/feh | grep usr
Abump_map_point(x=[],y=[],map=/usr/local/share/feh/images/about.png);
/usr/local/share/feh/fonts
/usr/local/share/feh/images/about.png
/usr/local/share/feh/images/menubg_default.png
/usr/local/share/feh/fonts/menu.style

I'm not familiar with how Arch packages are built, but the make command should be "PREFIX=/usr make". Fixes the font problem

BUT, I do seem to be having another problem, even built from upstream: none of the keybindings work... whether they're specified in ~/.config/feh/keys or listed in the defaults...

Why didn't either of you file a bug report?

This appears to be fixed with feh 1.11-2.
Thanks for the fast action.

@Xyne -- was gonna file a bug report as soon I verified I didn't do something funky to my own system

I somehow missed that in your first post, unless you sneakily added it in with the edit.

I also find it amusing that every post in this thread has one smiley.
