I think it is something wrong with the Tcl/Tk interface and its interaction with the XServer on UNIX machines. Maybe a conflict/incompatibility with the freetype2 libraries and Tcl/Tk. I had located a strange passing of arguments inside the /*Altera_install_DIR*/modelsim_ase/linuxaloem/tk8.5/ttk/fonts.tcl file. In the X11 section it queries the pkgconfig for specific font packages, specifically : (sans-serif && monospace) or (Helvetica && courier). Also it sets the sizes with a negative sign (i.e. -12, -14 etc.) contrary to the MS Windows or OSX sections. On proper editing of these lines nothing happens, wchih leads me to believe this is not an actual control file, nevertheless it seems an installation of the Helvetica font may prove beneficial for further inquiries. Tomorrow I will try installing the infinality complete font package by bohoomil. I will further post on my progress. cr4150n
