[Mono-winforms-list] running winforms application on OS X

[Paul Berry]

Thanks for the response.  I'm trying to runs this application under X11, it gives the error detailed.
 
Also, this happens with *any* mono application, I'm guessing the problem lies in my X11 / mono configuration somewhere but I've no idea where to start looking.

Hi Paul, 
 
I notice in your stack trace there is something about a font family missing, I have read here: http://groups.google.com/group/cocoa-sharp-dev/browse_thread/thread/4be54c8a401ad445 that you need X11 installed for something font-related.
 
That’s all I can think of right now, other things I do sometimes is to check out the source code and see why it goes wrong. That may provide insight in what to google for, or workarounds.
 
Hope this helps,
Erik Renes

HI all, hopefully someone can help with this, I’ve been googling for answers to this problem for 2 days now without any luck.
 
Basically, I’m at the stage where my application (originally written in .Net, ported to mono on linux, now trying to port to OS X) compiles fine, but running it provokes the error at the bottom of this message.
 
Further testing has revealed that this error occurs for *any* mono application.  Googling has revealed several cases of this error with winforms on OS X but no useful solution.  I’ve tried copying fonts from my windows machine to ~/fonts and running mkfontdir on that directory but this results in ‘Bus error’.  
 
Please help!
