@codazoa I had the same problem.

After running ddd using the terminal ($ ddd) I had multiple warning messages saying something like : "Cannot convert string "...." to type FontStruct"

After a couple of research and spending hours to find a fix, I've finally found this : "Some programs only work with bitmap fonts. Two major packages with bitmap fonts are available, xorg-fonts-75dpi and xorg-fonts-100dpi." (From the AUR : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/xorg)

So basically, you need to run this command :

$ xdpyinfo | grep resolution

And get the xorg-fonts-XXdpi (with XX = 75 or 100) that is closer to the output value of the command above.

You can install a xorg-fonts package using pacman : 

$ sudo pacman -S xorg-fonts-100dpi

Once you've done that, run : 

$ sudo pacman -S gdb

Then reboot and everything should work.

It seems this software does not work under wayland: GUI is broken and one gets many warnings like:

Warning: 
Name: FONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG_STRING
Class: XmRendition
Conversion failed.  Cannot load font.

I currently have a FAILED (unknown public key... ) error. Is there a PGP key to import prior to the installation ?

https://imgur.com/a/FKMIpFI After a fresh install of manjaro with GNOME DE, DDD's language is set to something other than english. Locale is set to en_US.utf8 and the only language support installed is english. Not sure if this is a bug in the most recent version but it worked in manjaro KDE just 2 weeks ago.

The fonts in DDD are somehow using the wrong configuration for me, they look bad in general. I made a forum thread about it and I'd appreciate any help!

It works great, thank you

Yes, I just adopted and patched it, solving the friends compilation error
