Hi,
trying to upgrade to 1.5.5 I'm facing the problem that VDR segfaults right on startup (no plugins envolved).
First step is to check if you have some tt font installed.
I have a bunch of luxi*.ttf in the truetype font directory, one of them is "Luxi Sans".
Then check /etc/fonts/fonts.conf (and subdirectories in /etc/fonts) to see if "Sans Serif" points to an existing font (it usually point to Vera Sans or DejaVu, so you should have that font installed).
I find fonts.conf hard to understand. As far as I see, Luxi Sans is linked correctly (it's default fonts.conf installed by fontconfig):
<!-- Sans-serif faces --> <alias> <family>Bitstream Vera Sans</family> <family>Helvetica</family> <family>Arial</family> <family>Verdana</family> <family>Albany AMT</family> <family>Nimbus Sans L</family> <family>Luxi Sans</family> <family>Kochi Gothic</family> <family>AR PL KaitiM GB</family> <family>AR PL KaitiM Big5</family> <family>ï¼ï¼³ ã´ã·ãã¯</family> <family>Baekmuk Dotum</family> <family>SimSun</family> <family>FreeSans</family> <default><family>sans-serif</family></default> </alias>
Regards.
