When I do that I get another error popup:
"the font you selected doesn't have a boldface version"
and the change is not applied.
I see these errors only when I run as root.
When I run as non-root the type table file is ALREADY null and there are
no such errors.
Where is this information ("asn.1 type table file") persistently stored?
Thanks, Bob.

On MontaVista Linux 3.0, running 0.10.6, I get the following error at
startup:
"The file /usr/local/share/ethereal/asn1/default.tt does not exist".
You presumably updated to 0.10.6 from an earlier version of Ethereal, or
copied your preferences file from a version saved with an older version of
Ethereal, as that's *not* the default value for the ASN.1 file in 0.10.6.
Select Edit -> Preferences, open up the "Protocols" list, and select
"ASN1". The "ASN.1 type table file" setting will probably be
"/usr/local/share/ethereal/asn1/default.tt"; clear that field, click
"Save", and click "Apply".
This does NOT occur when I run 0.10.6 under Solaris 8.
You presumably didn't update from one of the versions of Ethereal that had
"/usr/local/share/ethereal/asn1/default.tt" as the default for that
preference.
I have seen some posts in the archives on this issue, but most or all
were concerned with running under Windows.
That's probably just because the warning messages are more obvious in
Windows (in Windows, a console window is popped up to display the
messages; in UN*X, they're written to the standard output, and if the
standard output goes to some place not immediately visible, such as the
console when console output is discarded or sent only to special windows,
or is discarded, the message isn't particularly obvious).
