[comp.windows.x] X-Fonts, loading, changing path, etc.

dbld@oz.plymouth.edu (d^2) (04/05/91)

We have just started to experiment with DEC VT-1000's on an Dec system
5400 running Ultrix v4.1.  We have a serious problem when we change
the font path, by either using xset +fp <fontpath> and then xset
rehash, or by using the XSetFontPath 'C' routine.  If you try to
execute anyone of these to change the font path, the terminals looses
all of the fonts that it has and display's nothing.

Is their anyone out in the net area that could tell me where to load
a bdftopcf, or bdftosnf, or *.BDF file into memory and what other
values might be changed?  What might help is the source code for the
'C' routines XSetFontPath and XLoadQueryFont.  

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
