I am trying to add new fonts (for xtex) to the fontpath under X11R4. Here is what I try, % xset +fp texfonts I get the following error message: X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out \ of range for operaton) 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 Here is the listing of texfonts directory: texfonts/cmbsy10.85.snf texfonts/cmsl9.85.snf texfonts/cmbx10.85.snf texfonts/cmsltt10.85.snf texfonts/cmbx10.93.snf texfonts/cmss10.85.snf texfonts/cmbx12.85.snf texfonts/cmss10.93.snf texfonts/cmbx5.85.snf texfonts/cmss12.85.snf texfonts/cmbx6.85.snf texfonts/cmss17.85.snf texfonts/cmbx7.85.snf texfonts/cmssbx10.85.snf texfonts/cmbx8.85.snf texfonts/cmssi10.85.snf texfonts/cmbx9.85.snf texfonts/cmssi12.85.snf texfonts/cmcsc10.85.snf texfonts/cmssi17.85.snf texfonts/cmdunh10.85.snf texfonts/cmssq8.85.snf texfonts/cmex10.85.snf texfonts/cmssqi8.85.snf texfonts/cmmi10.85.snf texfonts/cmsy10.85.snf texfonts/cmmi10.93.snf texfonts/cmsy10.93.snf texfonts/cmmi12.85.snf texfonts/cmsy5.85.snf texfonts/cmmi5.85.snf texfonts/cmsy6.85.snf texfonts/cmmi6.85.snf texfonts/cmsy7.85.snf texfonts/cmmi7.85.snf texfonts/cmsy8.85.snf texfonts/cmmi8.85.snf texfonts/cmsy9.85.snf texfonts/cmmi9.85.snf texfonts/cmtex10.85.snf texfonts/cmmib10.85.snf texfonts/cmtex9.85.snf texfonts/cmr10.85.snf texfonts/cmti10.85.snf texfonts/cmr10.93.snf texfonts/cmti10.93.snf texfonts/cmr12.85.snf texfonts/cmti12.85.snf texfonts/cmr17.85.snf texfonts/cmti7.85.snf texfonts/cmr5.85.snf texfonts/cmti8.85.snf texfonts/cmr6.85.snf texfonts/cmti9.85.snf texfonts/cmr7.85.snf texfonts/cmtt10.85.snf texfonts/cmr8.85.snf texfonts/cmtt10.93.snf texfonts/cmr9.85.snf texfonts/cmtt12.85.snf texfonts/cmsl10.85.snf texfonts/cmtt8.85.snf texfonts/cmsl10.93.snf texfonts/cmtt9.85.snf texfonts/cmsl12.85.snf texfonts/cmu10.85.snf texfonts/cmsl8.85.snf texfonts/fonts.dir Listing of fonts.dir: 67 cmbsy10.85.snf cmbsy10.85 cmbx10.85.snf cmbx10.85 cmbx10.93.snf cmbx10.93 cmbx12.85.snf cmbx12.85 cmbx5.85.snf cmbx5.85 cmbx6.85.snf cmbx6.85 cmbx7.85.snf cmbx7.85 cmbx8.85.snf cmbx8.85 cmbx9.85.snf cmbx9.85 cmcsc10.85.snf cmcsc10.85 cmdunh10.85.snf cmdunh10.85 cmex10.85.snf cmex10.85 cmmi10.85.snf cmmi10.85 cmmi10.93.snf cmmi10.93 cmmi12.85.snf cmmi12.85 cmmi5.85.snf cmmi5.85 cmmi6.85.snf cmmi6.85 cmmi7.85.snf cmmi7.85 cmmi8.85.snf cmmi8.85 cmmi9.85.snf cmmi9.85 cmmib10.85.snf cmmib10.85 cmr10.85.snf cmr10.85 cmr10.93.snf cmr10.93 cmr12.85.snf cmr12.85 cmr17.85.snf cmr17.85 cmr5.85.snf cmr5.85 cmr6.85.snf cmr6.85 cmr7.85.snf cmr7.85 cmr8.85.snf cmr8.85 cmr9.85.snf cmr9.85 cmsl10.85.snf cmsl10.85 cmsl10.93.snf cmsl10.93 cmsl12.85.snf cmsl12.85 cmsl8.85.snf cmsl8.85 cmsl9.85.snf cmsl9.85 cmsltt10.85.snf cmsltt10.85 cmss10.85.snf cmss10.85 cmss10.93.snf cmss10.93 cmss12.85.snf cmss12.85 cmss17.85.snf cmss17.85 cmssbx10.85.snf cmssbx10.85 cmssi10.85.snf cmssi10.85 cmssi12.85.snf cmssi12.85 cmssi17.85.snf cmssi17.85 cmssq8.85.snf cmssq8.85 cmssqi8.85.snf cmssqi8.85 cmsy10.85.snf cmsy10.85 cmsy10.93.snf cmsy10.93 cmsy5.85.snf cmsy5.85 cmsy6.85.snf cmsy6.85 cmsy7.85.snf cmsy7.85 cmsy8.85.snf cmsy8.85 cmsy9.85.snf cmsy9.85 cmtex10.85.snf cmtex10.85 cmtex9.85.snf cmtex9.85 cmti10.85.snf cmti10.85 cmti10.93.snf cmti10.93 cmti12.85.snf cmti12.85 cmti7.85.snf cmti7.85 cmti8.85.snf cmti8.85 cmti9.85.snf cmti9.85 cmtt10.85.snf cmtt10.85 cmtt10.93.snf cmtt10.93 cmtt12.85.snf cmtt12.85 cmtt8.85.snf cmtt8.85 cmtt9.85.snf cmtt9.85 cmu10.85.snf cmu10.85 All files are readable by me (the owner), so what is the problem? I even tried placing all these snf files in /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc and built new fonts.dir file using mkfontdir, but xlsfonts still cannot find these fonts. Any clue?

This is quite necessary, otherwise your server will not know that new fonts have appeared. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Email to: lonhyn@gulag.nas.nasa.gov Human at: 415-604-3989 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

With it, `xset' works properly; without it, it core dumps! -- Kenneth H. Cox Viewlogic Systems, Inc. kenc@viewlogic.com ..!harvard!cg-atla!viewlog!kenc
