Greetings! I've been wrestling with some of the utilities that come with OpenWindows 2.0 by trying to get them to work under tvtwm. In particular, I've been trying to get "cm", the calendar manager to display properly on my screen. After setting up all of the KraZy variables so it will know where to find fonts and whatnot, it still claims to be unable to find the font it wants. I've tried changing the font, but it doesn't seem to help. I also get the error: XView warning: invalid object (not a pointer), xv_get System: Sun 386i, 4.0.2 WM: tvtwm X11R4 patch through 18 Any help is greatly appreciated. Please don't suggest that I still run the openwin script and keep my WM the same... This crashes after a short time... -- ~mitch _______________________________________________________________________________ mitch@hq.af.mil (Mitch Wright) | The Pentagon, 1B1046 | (703) 695-0262 _______________________________________________________________________________

Your cm problem stems from using the MIT server rather than the X11/NeWS
server, not from using olwm rather than tvtwm.
To get cm to work if you're using the MIT server, you'll need to add the
following two lines to the fonts.alias file in whatever directory your
Lucida fonts are kept (on my system, it's /usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi). Note
that the lines are split here only for legibility:
-b&h-lucida-medium-r-normal-sans-9-90-75-75-p-0-iso8859-1
-b&h-lucida-medium-r-normal-sans-10-100-75-75-p-58-iso8859-1
-b&h-lucida-bold-r-normal-sans-9-90-75-75-p-66-iso8859-1
-b&h-lucida-bold-r-normal-sans-10-100-75-75-p-66-iso8859-1
Then you'll need to do an 'xset fp rehash' to cause the server to reread
the font databases. cm should run fine after that.
