I have just built version 2.2 of ET++ for use under X. Things go fine until I attempt to include the ET++ fonts directory in my font path. I get the following results: xset +fp /usr/lib/X11/fonts/et X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 51 (X_SetFontPath) Minor opcode of failed request: 0 Resource id in failed request: 0x0 Serial number of failed request: 4 Current serial number in output stream: 6 Debugging xset shows the error to occur in XCloseDisplay. Before I have to start debugging Xlib, has anyone any idea about the above error message? -- Colin Walls | Janet: Colin@uk.ac.umist UMIST, Manchester | DARPA: Colin@umist.ac.uk ENGLAND. | "Half-owre, Half-owre to Aberdour, Tel. +44-61-200-3540 | 'Tis fifty fathoms deep"

Or rather, that's where it's noticed. X is asynchronous, remember. > Before I have to start debugging Xlib, has anyone any idea about the > above error message? Debugging Xlib is almost certainly useless; this error is being detected by the server. Were I to take a guess, I would say that either (a) you haven't (re)run mkfontdir in the directory for the new fonts or (b) you've forgotten that font directories must be paths *as seen by the server* (whether clients can access the font directory makes no difference). der Mouse old: mcgill-vision!mouse new: mouse@larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu
