I have installed Gnumeric in CentOS 6.5, then use ssconvert command to convert .xls/.xlsx file to CSV, but I still get the following error:

$ ssconvert GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Not running within active session) GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash.

** (ssconvert:5725): WARNING **: Configured default font 'Sans 10.000000' not available, trying fallback...

** (ssconvert:5725): WARNING **: Fallback font 'Sans 10.000000' not available, trying 'fixed'...

** (ssconvert:5725): WARNING **: Even 'fixed 10' failed ?? We're going to exit now,there is something wrong with your font configuration

Can you help me?

As this is an old question, the answer is in case someone will get the same error (like me today on CentOS 6.8), you missed to install the Sans font:

yum install gnu-free-sans-fonts

For docker alpine images this might help:

RUN apk add --update \
        msttcorefonts-installer fontconfig \
        ttf-opensans
