Dear xperts, I made a x application using OpenLook widgets. The program worked well under OpenWindow on SPARCstation. But when I tried to run it on a different machine such as Personal IRIS, I met the following error: OPEN LOOK Toolkit Error in application "xxx": Could not find default OPEN LOOK button font: For your info, I have installed the OpenLook fons onto my Personal IRIS. And the same error occured on NCD X terminals. Is there anyone who solved the problem ? I made the following resouce file for OpenLook applications. *TitleFont: -b&h-lucida-bold-r-normal-sans-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-* *Use3D:True *titleFont: -b&h-lucida-bold-r-normal-sans-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-* *textFont: -b&h-lucida-medium-r-normal-sans-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-* *buttonFont: -b&h-lucida-medium-r-normal-sans-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-* *MenuButtonFont: -b&h-lucida-medium-r-normal-sans-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-* *iconFont: -b&h-lucida-medium-r-normal-sans-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-* *glyphFont: -sun-open look glyph-*-*-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-* *cursorFont: -sun-open look cursor-*-*-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-* *menu.popup.outlineButton:False *menu.pinned.outlineButton:False I guess that I missed a resource entry for button widget. Any comments will be appreciated. -- THW(Taehwan Weon) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- . ##' SOLVIT Inc. # ' Kisung B/D 4F, 784-6 Yeoksam-Dong Kangnam-Gu ## .##. .###. ## ## ## ## #### Seoul, Korea ### ## # ## ## ## ## ## ## ## #### '##. ## ## ## ## ## ## ## TEL : 82-2-561-0361~3 ### # ## ## ## ## # # ## ## FAX : 82-2-561-0364 ## '##' '###' ##### # ## ## # ## ## E-main address : weon@solvit.co.kr ' -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

What you can do is copy the d12* files from your $OPENWIN/lib/fonts directory into a temporary directory. Then you have to use convertfont (an Open Windows utility) with option -x to convert the fonts to BDF. After that, you can use the standard X11r4 utility bdftosnf to make SNF files. Then you should use mkfontdir to build the fonts.dir file. I believe that somewhere in these steps, you should be careful about two fonts getting into the same file. (I.e. one of the utilities - I think convertfont - generates a file name clash). After that, you better also make a fonts.alias file. To make this easy, here is mine : d12bluci d12bluci-14 d12butto d12butto-12 d12iluci d12iluci-14 d12lucid d12lucid-14 d12sbarh d12sbarh-12 d12sbarv d12sbarv-12 d12sldrh d12sldrh-12 d12sldrv d12sldrv-12 After that, use xset fp+ to get the directory into your X server's font path. To check, you may want to do xlsfonts -fn "d12*" If you still have trouble, remember that your NCD generates error messages, including the ones about missing fonts, in its diagnostic session. In there, you can see the exact font name that your application is trying to load. You should be able to use the same method (maybe even the same directory ?) for your Personal IRIS. Oh yes, why the d12* files ? I don't really know. I believe OLIT determines the exact font it needs from the dimensions of the X server it uses. So maybe your systems require you to start with one of the other groups of font files.

I believe that USL has placed these OLIT fonts already in .bdf format on Expo....(in case you don't want to deal with the converting steps) The file is OLIT2fonts.tar (not compressed) on expo.lcs.mit.edu via anonymous ftp in the contrib directory. It includes all the 12-point lucida fonts along with the button, slider, and scrollbar fonts. It's about 550K. Amy Moore (aim@sun.com)
