No. Ran across this because I am getting the same error often (not always) on ubuntu 20.04 gnuplot 5.4. Running fc-cache -v -f -r did a lot of stuff but did not help gnuplot using term qt.

add hamclock if you wish

Thanks for the extra tips, all good. I just realized I do have a $HOME/.git file but I'll be darned where it came from. I'm gradually trying to learn to use git on a project but it's not rooted off $HOME. Git still feels like a cave full of dark and twisty passages -- I expect to find a Wumpus lurking at every turn. Cheers!

Thanks for the help. My apologies for the scare. I added "for me" in hopes it would temper the effect a little. Was not aware of these settings, sounds perfect. All the best...

Just a word to the wise. I mostly still use RCS for small projects and am grateful tkdiff still supports it. But I recently started a project that uses git. As soon as I started using git, tkdiff stopped finding my RCS files. Bottom line: I discovered git created ~/.git which tkdiff always found and thus assumed I wanted to use git for everything, even if there was an RCS dir in my CWD. Removing ~/.git allows tkdiff to work normally again. Of course I need that ~/.git when using git but at least...

When I upgraded from Big Sur to Monterey my tkdiff started doing the same as @AlanM. I ran "sudo port install tk" and after that tkdiff worked via ssh again.

Problem solved. Seems my wish uses aqua, not X11. To fix I installed tcl and tk from macports: sudo port install tcl tk then all was well. Thanks everyone, take care.
