I installed a X server on Windows 10, I used the WSL and I noticed an issue

# echo $DISPLAY
localhost:0

When I run xclock or xcalc everything works fine, but when I run gitk I get a segfault

~ # xclock
Warning: Cannot convert string "" to type XftFont
~ # gitk
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
~ #

Is there an issue with this?

I'm using OpenSuse Leap 15.1.

Thanks!

Did you try any other distribution? – Biswapriyo Sep 24 '19 at 18:36
You might be missing fonts, or the standard Xft font configuration file. – Donal Fellows Sep 25 '19 at 16:31
@Biswapriyo On Ubuntu it works fine ... any ideas? – INS Sep 26 '19 at 15:05
@DonalFellows It might not be necessarily that problem since it works on Ubuntu. Maybe the tk library was built using some weird fonts? – INS Sep 26 '19 at 15:06
