Hello, here I am again with some troubles. Well, I have an HP 9000-350 machine, working with HP-UX 6.5 and X-Windows. This machine runs on a LAN with some Sun 3/50 Workstations. Common LISP II runs on the HP machine and uses the Xwindow environment to make some developments. My trouble becomes because I would like to use the Sun workstations as graphic servers for LISP, and so, I could have three machines in which the people could develop Lisp programs and interfaces. This is my desire, but the when I try to initialize the window system on the lisp environment, it says that he cant find the font "roman", the message is: > (initialize-windows :display "murillo:0.0") ;;; Warning: Cannot allocate color on monochrome display #<DISPLAY murillo 0> >>Error: Unknown font at startup: roman INITIALIZE-WINDOWS: Rest arg (ARGS): (:DISPLAY "murillo:0.0") Keyword arg 1 (DISPLAY): "murillo:0.0" :A Abort to Lisp Top Level -> "murillo" is the sun machine where I'm running the X-Server, that is X11-R3. The font roman didn't existed on this machine, but I have placed it on the right directory, and I've created windows using this font. There is no problem with it. So, does any body understood the problem?, Does anybody know the solution?, Are there any solution?. I belive that the source of the problem is HP Common LISP II, because there is no way to tell him that he can use another font till the window manager is initialized, and it can't be initialized if it can't find the font ROMAN. (that's a dead-lock). Well, thanks a lot to everybody who have read this article, more thanks to those who will answer. I promise to post the solution if I find it.
