[Mono-winforms-list] Running a MWF app on solaris

[pablosantosluac at terra.es]

Hi,

I'm trying to run a sample winforms app (just one form, the default app 
created by the vstudio wizard) on Solaris SPARC.

My mono is 2.0.1 as compiled by Steffen (in CC) -> basically a build on 
a solaris box.

That's what I get:

bash-3.00$ export MONO_THEME=nice
bash-3.00$ mono hello.exe
GLib: Cannot convert message: Conversion from character set 'UTF-8' to 
'646' is not supported

Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: An exception 
was thrown by the type initializer for System.Windows.Forms.ThemeEngine 
---> System.ArgumentException: The requested FontFamily could not be 
found [GDI+ status: FontFamilyNotFound]

   at (wrapper remoting-invoke-with-check) hello.Form1:.ctor ()
   at hello.Form1.Main () [0x00000]


I tried with other mono-themes but I get the same result


Then, instead of a dummy app I'm trying to run the Plastic SCM GUI 
client, and it stops at:

ENTER:  (wrapper managed-to -native) System.Windows.Forms.X11Desktop 
Colors:gtk _init_check(intptr, intptr)(0, 0,)

It simply stops, no erros.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
