Dearjedit users, I have recently installed RedHat version 7.2 Linux on machine which should be powerful enough to run concurrently many dozens of applications like jEdit: 1.4 Ghz CPU and 512 Meg of RAM. However, it often loads very slowly and sometimes not at all. When it fails to stary properly, I get me:~:[error] Font specified in font.properties not found [--symbol-medium-r-normal--*-%d-*-*-p-*-adobe-fontspecific] [error] Font specified in font.properties not found [--symbol-medium-r-normal--*-%d-*-*-p-*-adobe-fontspecific] .... etc for about 15 lines. If it DOES eventually start, will eventaully see: [warning] JEditCommanderPlugin is using the obsolete createMenuItems() API. [warning] JStandardPlugin is using the obsolete createMenuItems() API. [error] Error saving user defined global variables [error] java.io.IOException: No such file or directory [error] at java.io.UnixFileSystem.createFileExclusively(Native Method) [error] at java.io.File.createNewFile(File.java:690) [error] at XInsertPlugin.stop(XInsertPlugin.java:115) [error] at org.gjt.sp.jedit.jEdit.exit(jEdit.java:1885) [error] at org.gjt.sp.jedit.jEdit.closeView(jEdit.java:2682) [error] at org.gjt.sp.jedit.jEdit.closeView(jEdit.java:1701) [error] at org.gjt.sp.jedit.View$WindowHandler.windowClosing(View.java:1055) [error] at java.awt.Window.processWindowEvent(Window.java:798) [error] at javax.swing.JFrame.processWindowEvent(JFrame.java:241) [error] at java.awt.Window.processEvent(Window.java:774) [error] at java.awt.Component.dispatchEventImpl(Component.java:2595) [error] at java.awt.Container.dispatchEventImpl(Container.java:1213) [error] at java.awt.Window.dispatchEventImpl(Window.java:912) [error] at java.awt.Component.dispatchEvent(Component.java:2499) [error] at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEvent(EventQueue.java:333) [error] at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpOneEvent(EventDispatchThread.java:103) [error] at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java:93) [error] at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(EventDispatchThread.java:84) .... and it seems to start, and function well after that. Can I assume that the loading of fonts is what is slowing down the process of loading jEdit, or could there be a more fundamental problem related to KDE and/or GNOME? If it is the fonts, then I guess the answer lie in the various documents, relating to font issues, which I have with me somewhere. ...or are there any simple solutions? I have noticed that it seems to run faster on the GNOME desktop, but it seems to be even more difficult to start. TIA James |
