It simply doesn't start, even if GRACE_HOME is properly set to /usr/share/grace. I believe I've found a fix for this issue; it is associated with recent changes that have occurred in the urw-base35-fonts package. > > In detail: xmgrace as currently built tries to use the type 1 fonts in /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts. It appears (?) to catalog them using a font mapping contained in one of its configuration files, named appropriately enough, FontDataBase, which sits in /usr/share/grace/fonts. It contains this: > > 14 > Times-Roman Times-Roman n021003l.pfb > Times-Italic Times-Italic n021023l.pfb > Times-Bold Times-Bold n021004l.pfb > Times-BoldItalic Times-BoldItalic n021024l.pfb > Helvetica Helvetica n019003l.pfb > Helvetica-Oblique Helvetica-Oblique n019023l.pfb > Helvetica-Bold Helvetica-Bold n019004l.pfb > Helvetica-BoldOblique Helvetica-BoldOblique n019024l.pfb > Courier Courier n022003l.pfb > Courier-Oblique Courier-Oblique n022023l.pfb > Courier-Bold Courier-Bold n022004l.pfb > Courier-BoldOblique Courier-BoldOblique n022024l.pfb > Symbol Symbol s050000l.pfb > ZapfDingbats ZapfDingbats d050000l.pfb > > The font files - the files listed in the rightmost column of this file - seem to belong in the urw-base35-fonts package, indeed this package search finds them there. However they aren't there anymore. They have been renamed and are now in /usr/share/fonts/urw-base35/ under the following names (thanks to Ken Brown): > > NimbusRoman-Regular.t1 > NimbusRoman-Italic.t1 > NimbusRoman-Bold.t1 > NimbusRoman-BoldItalic.t1 > NimbusSans-Regular.t1 > NimbusSans-Italic.t1 > NimbusSans-Bold.t1 > NimbusSans-BoldItalic.t1 > NimbusMonoPS-Regular.t1 > NimbusMonoPS-Italic.t1 > NimbusMonoPS-Bold.t1 > NimbusMonoPS-BoldItalic.t1 > StandardSymbolsPS.t1 > D050000L.t1 > > I tried changing the FontDataBase file to list these names instead, but that had no effect.

So the package could be rebuilt with awareness of the new font location and names, and a fix for now is to simply relink its font directory and link these names as above. Grace project considers it a downstream distro issue: http://plasma-gate.weizmann.ac.il/Grace/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3285 Detailed analysis, workarounds, and patches for Fedora are at: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1502175 -- Take care.
