We have suddenly started getting an error whenever we try to change
the font path using xset, and for the life of me, I cannot figure out
what could have changed to induce this error. It happens on Sun 3
machines running SunOS4.0.3 and X11R4 (patch level 14) as well as
SPARCstation 1+'s running SUNOS 4.1 and X11R4 (patch level 18). Here
is the error:
> xset fp+ /homes/hogan/fonts
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: 0x3
Serial number of failed request: 4
Current serial number in output stream: 6
The other xset commands work, just fp blows up. Anybody have any idea
what could cause this...I'm stuck.
Thanks in advance,
Emmett

I had this problem a few months ago, and I believe --- modulo bad memory --- that this was the reason of the problem.

This should mean one of your font directories has a bad/missing/unreadable fonts.dir or a bad/unreadable fonts.alias file. The value given in the error message for "Resource id in failed request" is the index (from zero) into the font path of the bad directory.
