Can you help me to make a PAN module? (newsreader)
Posted: 16 May 2011, 14:15
Hello,
For SLAX 6.1.2, I have made the module called "attbins", which also contains PAN, a very good newsreader.
( http://pan.rebelbase.com/ )
Unfortunately, PAN does not work out-of-the-box with Porteus. It needs some fixes.
When you convert the attbins-PAN-containing-module to Porteus XZM module and you start pan, it looks like that:

This means: It does not display characters at all, just squares.
I am trying to figure out what to do, but I cannot seem to fix it.
I have tried to copy fontpaths and font-dirs from Slax 6.1.2 to Porteus, but I had no luck.
Please help, any advice is greatly appreciated.

By the way, when starting up PAN, from the converted Slax module, I get the following errors:
bash-4.1# pan
(process:19151): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
(pan:19151): Pango-CRITICAL **: No modules found:
No builtin or dynamically loaded modules were found.
PangoFc will not work correctly.
This probably means there was an error in the creation of:
'/etc/pango/pango.modules'
You should create this file by running:
pango-querymodules > '/etc/pango/pango.modules'
(pan:19151): Pango-WARNING **: failed to choose a font, expect ugly output. engine-type='PangoRenderFc', script='latin'
