Hej!

after some updates on my system (demudi) I get problems with the fonts in 
ardour 0.99.3

all letters are to big for the boxes in the GUI.

I get startup error message: 
....
The font "-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-8-*-*-*-p-*-*-*" does not support all 
the required character sets for the current locale "en_US"
  (Missing character set "ISO8859-1")
  (Missing character set "ISO8859-1")
The font "-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-p-*-*-*" does not support 
all the required character sets for the current locale "en_US"
  (Missing character set "ISO8859-1")
  (Missing character set "ISO8859-1")

.....


how can I get rid of this problem????


thanks for a tip!!
