It seems that (VARKON_ROOT)/cnf/ini/english/linux is broken in both the source and binary 1.19C. The swedish initialization seems to be fine. Does anyone have a quick fix for this? I don't mind it, but it's going to take me very very long to learn swedish.
Cheers!

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The difference is not intential. Both files will work if the fonts are installed on
the target machine. With SUSE linux 10.0 for example both work. lucidans
and adobe times may look a little better than plain X11 7x13 or 10x20.
On a machine that does not have these fonts installed however Varkon craches.
Varkon should not crach, this is a bug. Also the swedish and english ini-files should
not be different. This is also a bug.
A quick fix is to edit the english ini-file and use the fonts from the swedish file.
Replace lucidasans-bold-10 with 7x13 and -adobe-times-medium-r-normal--18-180-75-75-p-94-iso8859-1
with 10x20. This is actually the effect of the fix that was proposed by Kimble (ximar).

Forgot to mention the error message. Here it is:
./varkon: line 99: 5400 Segmentation fault $VARKON_BIN/xvarkon -GLOBAL -i$VARKON_INI/linux

By doing this I managed get the english binary running:
- copy first 56 lines from cnf/ini/swedish
- replace the first 21 lines in cnf/ini/english by swedish lines
Hi,
The swedish ini-file uses only basic X11 fonts:
varkon.font.small: 7x13
varkon.font.normal: 9x15
varkon.font.big: 10x20
The english ini-file uses the following:
varkon.font.small: lucidasans-bold-10
varkon.font.normal: 9x15
varkon.font.big: -adobe-times-medium-r-normal--18-180-75-75-p-94-iso8859-1

I was able to get Varkon's english version to work and successfully went through the 6 min tutorial. Thank you Kimble and Johan.
