That's a bit strange, what is your folder organisation ?
Check the permission on the fonts/ folder, since you are dealing with multiple users it might be a problem

Thanks, Karu and Icus (and Xiombarg and Bittty of course)

Adding

PreDataPath = {
"user", "patch", "examples", "data/fonts", "data/gamedev.bnp"
};
DataPath = {
"share/ryzom/data", "data"
};

to client.cfg did the trick.

Usually, I am starting ryzom under one user who has the same (partially more) permissions as the system user games. And as I use to keep ryzom portable (USB media), I am very interested to have all contained in one ryzom folder which also allows to try different versions. I am not so much in modern "user friendly" stuff and use xfce and fluxbox as window managers, with extensive use of xterm and command line.

The problem was my mistake, I'm sorry :s

I'm fixing it right now :)

The client_default.cfg had absolute paths for "data" folder that created this bug :(
