  • Let's Have Some GNU/Linux: GV Postscript Warning

    PostScript has always been the language of Unix and hence GNU/Linux.

    However, I notice a problem with the venerable "gv:"

    <https://www.gnu.org/software/gv/>

    I get warnings each time I invoke gv:

    Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
    Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset

    The problem, and solution, is described in the following web
    page:

    <https://superuser.com/questions/1531413/getting-warning-missing-charsets-in-string-to-fontset-conversion>

    Fortunately, we still have some people who are versed in the
    original brand of GNU/Linux that has not been bastardized by
    the systemd/wayland/gnome folks (and I use that term kindly).

    I have already updated my config and other files with that
    recommendation and no longer receive the warning.

    But this seemingly innocent episode reveals just how much
    of legacy GNU/Linux is being threatened by the pseudo-progressive
    morons of systemd/wayland/gnome.

    Anyone who disagrees is myopic idiot.
