[SOLVED] X11: Fonts issue with HDL Designer

Hi,

Yesterday I installed HDL Designer for my job. But I couldn't launch it successfully.

After some environment variable checks, it give me this error message:

Error: Could not create FontSet for font '-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*'.
The following character sets cannot be drawn with this font:
ISO8859-1

My locale is set on fr_CH-UTF-8 and the application set LC_ALL to C.

And after some searchs, I found two non-working solutions:

A pretty old:

I tried to create the old X11R6 directory and then do some symbolic links with no success.

A recent one with the right applications version:
http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/solve … er-2013-1/
I haven't found any equivalent package for "xfonts-75" in the official repositories nor in aur.

So maybe I missed something like symbolics link 'cause I don't have the sames directories.

Any idea?

Thank you.

[EDIT] Problem solved. I found the missing fonts package (xorg-fonts-75dpi).
