[comp.sys.sun] OW2.0 Server dies...any ideas?

wolf@mink.att.com (Thomas Wolf) (01/04/91)

I posted this several months ago but never got any replies.  If this is a
known problem, could someone in the know (Sun?) please tell me?

I (and a friend with identical setup) have encountered the following
problem under OW2.0:  Under TWM, when we destroy an application's window
(using TWM's f.destroy which, I believe, just closes the connection
between a client and the server) AFTER it has been moved, the server
simply crashes and dumps core.  Following exactly the same procedure using
the X11R4 server causes no problems at all.

We have the following setup: Sparcstation-1, 16MB RAM, GFX Board (and the
GFX patch for SunOS4.03 applied), SunOS4.03 and OW2.0 (as well as X11R4).

Any help/information would be much appreciated,
Tom

I too have seen this problem.  I was wondering if you have managed to
merge in some fonts from OW2.0 server into Xsun.  Notably screen.r.11
which is my favorite.  I have tried some of the various font manipulation
commands but I can't seem to get anything to work.  Anyone out there have
any luck creating new fonts for either the X11/R4 server or OW2.0 I'd
really like to know how you did it.
