    Hi, I'm a student and I'm trying to lean from this package of Cadence IC
    5.033 for Linux we have at the university.
    The problem is that in virtuoso schematic editor I can't zoom in or out,
    when I press the "zoom in by 2" menu option I get this in my log:

    hiZoomRelativeScale(getCurrentWindow() 1.25)

    But nothing happens. When I click on "zoom out by 2" I get:

    hiZoomRelativeScale(getCurrentWindow() 0.8)
    *Error* quotient: Attempted to divide by zero - (41,68125.0 0.0)
    ERROR

    Also with "Fit" I get:

    schZoomFit(1.0 0.9)
    *Error* quotient: Attempted to divide by zero - (34,39062.0 0.0)
    ERROR

    I can't find the problem and couldn't find any help in google.
    Everythingelse I tried is working fine. The only error I get when I start
    the program is the following:
    Warning: Cannot convert string
    "-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--0-100-75-75-p-0-iso8859-1" to type
    FontStruct

    Not sure if could be related but it doesn't seem so. Please, if you can help
    me solve this problem I will be very grateful. I can't work if I don't
    solve this problem.
    Thank you very much.

    Try setting LANG=C before starting cadence. Depending on your shell, do
    something like
    setenv LANG=C
    export LANG=C
    ....

    Ok, close, but not exactly, but your tip helped me find the problem.
    Just for the record, LANG=C can be set or not and zoom works fine but I had
    to unset LC_ALL env var, it took some time until I realized.
    Thank you very much!
