[Bioperl-l] Bio::Graphics

[Christopher Fields]

I tried the tutorial on RedHat Linux 9.0 and it works, but I tried it on
my wife's IBook (Mac OSX 10.2.6) and couldn't get the labels to come up
either.  I posted a reply here (bioperl-l) a while back about it but
didn't get a reply.  Could it be a font problem or LANG setting?  My RH
9.0 system has LANG=en_US, but I think the IBook (OS X) has LANG=C
(neither set to UTF-8; I had problems with this in the past on both
systems).
