[Sketch-list] Another SuSE 8.0 + sketch 0.6.13 issue

[Paul G. <pau...@so...>]

I recently upgraded to SuSE 8.0, which includes XFree86 4.2, and since then I 
have not been able to display fonts correctly in sketch (everything else 
seems to work fine). On startup I get the following message on the console:

Could not load font '-misc-fixed-medium-*-*-*-11-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1' for 
ruler. using defaults.
Could not load font '-misc-fixed-medium-*-*-*-11-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1' for 
ruler. using defaults.
Could not load font '-misc-fixed-medium-*-*-*-[0 11 ~11 
0]-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1' for ruler. using defaults.

When I try to load an exiting sketch file, I get a popup that says:  "Cannot 
load '-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal-[~165.125121 0.106441 ~0.092663 
~165.125117]-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1[65 97 99 105 108 110_112 116]': no such 
font"

The fonts in the diagram are then displayed with a some simple font out of 
straight lines. Postscript output contains the proper fonts however.

I unistalled the SuSE rpm and installed from the source distribution. This did 
not help. I have added "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/latin2/Type1"  to the sketch 
fontpath, since it is in the X fontpath. I have tried everything described on 
the font page of the user guide 
(http://sketch.sourceforge.net/Doc/usersguide-4.html). 

So far none of these have had any effect. Any ideas?

TIA,
