crash when starting newly installed LBV7.0 for Linux

[dbarkats]

HI just installed LABview 7.0 on a Linux redhat 7 machine.
I start it and after trying to open a VI I wrote elsewhere in LBV7. I get the following error message
"Fatal INternal Error : "fontmgr.cpp" line 1023
Labview version 7.0"
And teh core gets dumped
Any idea how to resolve this problem .

I've seen a similar situation in which the system font "fixed" was not available, and LabVIEW assumes that the "fixed" font is available, but it could also be a locale problem. Did you happen to choose a foriegn local, or UTF*, etc?

Depending on your shell, try setting the "LANG" environmental variable. Like this:

LANG=C labview

Or, simply typing "locale" in a terminal should tell you your current settings.

If that doesn't work, see if you have a fixed font available by typing "xlsfonts | grep fixed".

Let me know if either of those things work for you.

HI David,
yes thanks the LANG-C labview fixed it
Great

Great. If you have a chance, you might look at your original VI to see if it had any fonts that were bold and italicized, that could have been the reason as well. (And let us know if that was the case)

In case you are wondering, all of these issues I've mentioned should be fixed in the next release of LabVIEW.
