    Error
AI Thread Summary
The issue arises when using xfig on Debian, where a font error message indicates that the system cannot find a specific font, resulting in text being displayed too small to read. The solution involves installing the necessary x fonts package to resolve the missing font issue. This should enable the user to adjust the font size appropriately in xfig.

I'm trying to use xfig in debian but when I try to write a text in my pictures I get the message:

'Can't find -*-times-medium-r-normal--13-*-*-*-*-*-ISO8859-*, using 6'

That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term. I have an MS 365 subscription and I've noticed on my Word documents the small circle with my initials in it is sometimes different in colour document to document (it's the circle at the top right of the doc, that, when you hover over it it tells you you're signed in; if you click on it you get a bit more info). Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...
