The source code text is invisible in the GUI of the IDB 8.1 debugger. I can highlight the invisible text and paste it to another window where I can actually view the source. Are there certain fonts that must be installed on the system?

bash-2.05b$ idb -v
Linux Application Debugger for 32-bit applications, Version 8.1-3, Build 20040715

bash-2.05b$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 3 (Taroon Update 2)

Thanks,
Jeremy

Yes, I have had exactly the same symptoms mostly on Linux Mandrake
9.1,9.2,10.0 systems, but also on RedHat (can't remember which version).

This is something to to with default fonts for the qt GUI libraries.
I can get the text to appear by removing ~/.qt/qtrc entirely. But
I have not found *any* lines to put in to ~/.qt/qtrc which allow idb -gui
to display text. Even an empty file still fails.

I have had a Premier Support issue open since February on this problem,
but no resolution as yet.
