Re: 9.0 refusing to run on Ubuntu

Helge,

I remember seeing a font problem like this a long time ago on a 
different operating system. Would it make sense for Cincom to add an 
error message to the VM so that Linux users could fix this problem 
themselves? Saying that it's a font problem and what fonts are needed 
would make this a trivial problem.

With Ubuntu 22.04 this could get worse, since now Wayland is the 
default, not X. I'm out of the loop on anything that Cincom might be 
doing in this area...
