Category: xview
Subcategory: all
Bug/Rfe: bug ?
Synopsis: XView error: Unable to find OPEN LOOK cursor font
Severity: 5
Priority: Critical for integration of Convex with Sun environment.
Information appreciated.
Description: Trying to port XView to Convex using MIT R4. Compiled
with several warnings but successful make. Made clients
(e.g., textedit) and linked without warnings. On execution,
get run-time messages:
XView warning: Cannot load font '-sun-open look cursor------*-*-*-*-*-*-*' (Font package)
XView error: Unable to find OPEN LOOK cursor font (Cursor package)
program exited with code 1
The remote server is on a Sun 4/370 running OpenWindows.
Other Xlib clients run on the Convex with no problems.
The messages imply to me that there is a communications
problem between XView client and server, or an internal
error in the XView library routines. I assume that
XView is not trying to access fonts on the client side.
If that is the case, are the fonts required to be in a
specific directory, or how can I point XView to the right
font path? The FONTPATH environment variable doesn't seem
to have any effect.
Work around: None known
Suggested fix: None known
Comments: Any information would be appreciated
