Fatal Internal Error : "fontmgr.cpp" When Attempting to Run LabVIEW on Some Versions of Linux

Primary Software: LabVIEW Development Systems>>Professional Development System
Primary Software Version: 8.5
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A

Problem:
I am attempting to run LabVIEW on Linux and when I click on the icon, nothing happens.  If I try to execute it from a terminal window, I receive the following error message:

Fatal Internal Error : "fontmgr.cpp" line XXX where XXX is any number.


Solution:
This problem can occur if the system's current locale settings are not compatible with LabVIEW.

To fix this, try  resetting the "LANG" environmental variable:

  1. Open a terminal window
  2. Type LANG=C labview if using the bash  shell or env LANG=C labview if using the tcsh shell.
  3. Hit enter
This changes the LANG environmental variable only with respect to the LabVIEW subprocess, allowing LabVIEW to execute normally.
