Hardware: SPARCstation SLC (8meg) Software: SunOS 4.1, OpenWindows 2.0, xnews, olwm, xfd, xtex On a number of occasions I have crashed COMPLETELY out of OpenWindows. On each occasion it seems to have had something to do with fonts. Indeed, using xfd on a particular font will now always allow me to very smartly exit OpenWindows :-). This particular font is, I guess quite large, being the Metafont cminch converted to the appropriate font format for OpenWindows for use with xtex (2.16.1). Not many of the other fonts that I have converted exhibit this behaviour, so I can only guess that it is the size of the font that causes the problem. Is there any wisdom amongst readers of this news group regarding such a problem and a work-around? -- Graham Williams, gjw@anucsd.anu.oz.au Dept Computer Science, Australian National University, GPO Box 4, Canberra, 2601, Australia.
