.NET Framework [GDI+ Status: FontFamilyNotFound]

I recently did something odd to my Linux machine (running Xubuntu 22.04 "Andy's Ham Radio Linux"). VarAC was running fine, but then ran into some odd thing with Wine and broken packages and a bunch of confusing dependencies. Nothing would work.

I figured it would be easier to just reimage the drive with the distro and start again clean with the latest VarAC.

I got it installed, but keep getting a .net framework "FontFamilyNotFound" message.

I did try installing "ttf-mscorefonts-installer" which was a easy .deb file. No change when running VaRAC. Vara starts up fine, VarAC will start, but this error won't go away so it will run properly. I did install from the Wheezy script with no problems. I'm running on a normal PC, not a Raspberry Pi.

Any ideas?

Thanks!,

Tom KA7VIK

Hmm, both directories didn`t exist. I created them, copied the mentioned file into them but still get the same error again :-((

all back: did not create the ~/.font directory but a ~/font directory. After creating the hidden dir it works now.

Thanks! 😎

Good! I hope my comments in this thread helped. I was pretty confused also, but after some more searching an trying it started up fine. Finally got the latest and greatest update of VarAC running. Seems to be even smoother than the last.

See you on the air possibly. 73, KA7VIK - Tom

Hi, This is most likely caused by the Emoji fonts newly introduced in the latest version of VarAC. You can google and find how to install "Segoe UI Emoji" on wine.

Oh! Ignore...I figured it out. Download from here - https://www.mediafire.com/file/pitu7ljkpkvoexj/seguiemj.ttf/file

Copy into ~/.fonts and also ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts

It start up fine then. Thanks for the tip Gene, just took a little more searching but found my way. :-)

Good to hear it fixed your problem. I installed it only in the wine bottle, but I don't think it does any harm in ~/.fonts.

Thanks for the help! I didn't make any contacts yet on it, but all seems to be working very smoothly with the little bit I tried so far. The software is a lot fun, keep up the good work! Tom KA7ViK
