Hi,
I have tested tgif in various fedora 8 installation, but no one can 
properly run tgif by "yum install" command".

In particular, on fedora 8 32bit after "yum install tgif" without 
problem, if I try to use tgif I got this error:

[user at shrek ~]# tgif
Warning: No type converter registered for 'String' to 'Bitmap' conversion.
Cannot load fontset specified by Tgif.MenuFontSet: 
'-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,-alias-*-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*'. 

Warning: Cannot set InitialFont to 'Ryumin'.
SIGFPE signal received.


Using the rpm on tgif's homepage
ftp://bourbon.usc.edu/pub/tgif/bin/linux-glibc/4.1.45/tgif-4.1.45-1.i386.rpm 

I'm able to run it properly.

I have contacted the tgif's developers and he has no idea what is the 
problem, he said:"
So, I'm guessing that the
executable may be compiled with different flags (or the code
has been modified).  I guess it would be difficult to figure out the 
differences"

Could you help me please?

M
