Hmm, I'm still struggling with the font dependency. I thought I identified the package containing the required font but when I launch midiview installed from my RPM package get the following error:

Need to install font -*-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Is there any way to find out which fontfile contains the required font?

Edit: ok I found it was looking for the xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi package while I had only added the xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi package as dependency.

I'm wondering why midiview is looking for 75dpi fonts when xdpyinfo tells me the resolution is 96x96 dpi?
In fact the font in midiview looks rather large.

Is this a problem with midiview or some X11 setting?

For reference re: code hosting, in case anyone cares: GitHub is itself proprietary whereas SourceForge's new Allura system is itself FLOSS and so is Gitorious; so I recommend the latter two if you care to support services that are themselves Free Software. Note: Gitorious doesn't include issue tracking, but Allura and GitHub both do. Allura also does several different systems, Git being just one option. Cheers
