Hi, I am a little confused about X font compresion!
I usualy compress all the X fonts to save a lot of space
and that is what I did after I upgraded to ultrix 4.2 with
the pcf fonts for Xws. It works great.
BUT, when I started the bookreader (dxbook) to look at the
files on the BookReader CD, I got error that, can't find fonts...
but the compressed fonts were there . So I went and uncompressed
all the fonts and then dxbook started working.
So whose job is it to understand comperssed fonts Xws or
the dxbook? I thought the server suppose to to that.
My envirnment is that My Xserver is Xws but most of the
programs I use are X11R4!
Thanks for your help.

this is a guess, but.. after you compress the fonts, you must run 'dxmkfontdir' to build the 'fonts.dir' file. You may have already loaded several fonts at the time you compressed the fonts, and not needed a new one until you hit the bookreader.

Oh yes, I did that and that did not help either. -- +----------------------------------------------------+ / Farhad Shakeri E-Mail: / / Stanford University farhad@CS.Stanford.EDU / / Computer Science Department /
