Im still getting "Font not found"
It means your system does not have the Helvetica bitmap font installed.
You can replace it with another font. First try searching your system for another English font available by entering this in console:
$ xlsfonts
For recent Linux distro, it should have the Bitstream Vera Serif font installed, which you can look up by:
$ xlsfonts | grep "vera serif"
You should see something like:
-bitstream-bitstream vera serif-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
If it is positive, then edit the file
glest.ini, replace the following lines from
FontConsole=-*-helvetica-*-*-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
FontDisplay=-*-helvetica-*-*-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
FontMenu=-*-helvetica-*-*-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
to
FontConsole=-*-bitstream vera serif-*-*-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
FontDisplay=-*-bitstream vera serif-*-*-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
FontMenu=-*-bitstream vera serif-*-*-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
If you have installed
Microsoft Corefonts yourself, you can choose to use the Georgia font here instead:
FontConsole=-*-georgia-*-*-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
FontDisplay=-*-georgia-*-*-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
FontMenu=-*-georgia-*-*-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
In any case, the
xlsfonts command is your guide here.
