Anybody run mtink in fossapup?

I'm running Fossapup64 9.5 and have installed mtink and all its dependencies from the package manager however it does not work.
It fires up as below

the next button does nothing.

If you fire it up from the terminal it reports this -
"Warning: Cannot convert string "*-helvetica-*-r-normal--14-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct"

Strangely enough if you fire it up with the printer off it looks like its going to work but when printer is powered it will not connect.

Mtink works OK in Bionic64

Any ideas

@bigphil - probably missing library or 2. To find it, in a terminal, run (ldd is lowercase LDD):
ldd /(path_to_program)/(program_name) | grep "not found"

i.e. (maybe): ldd /usr/bin/mtink | grep "not found"

Can then copy any libraries from bionicpup64_8.0.sfs, after mounting it.

@ozsouth

I've run ldd /usr/bin/mtink | grep "not found" as you said result below-

root# ldd /usr/bin/mtink | grep "not found"
root#

If I run it without grep "not found" it comes up with a list of libraries so I guess it can't find any missing libraries

Still no go with mtink so I downloaded the one from Bionic PPM (download all), uninstalled the one in Fossa and installed the one from Bionic, exactly the same results.
The strange things is in Bionic the menu entry is in System and in Fossa it's in Utility.
Looks like I'm going to leave Bionic installed to check the ink levels.
