I spent almost entire day time buiding/installing/testing R4 clients/libs, both standard and lot's contributed to my 320 running 3.003. So far not too bad. So after dinner, I built R4 fonts and put them in /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts {misc, 75dpi, 100dpi}. I also built R4 color database and put rgb/rgb.pag/ rgb.txt in /usr/local/lib/X11. Now, if I type xinit -D $RGB -fp $FONTPATH where RGB="/usr/local/lib/X11/rgb" (in ksh) the sever won't start at all. After a long period, it dies and the console hangs. I have tried to make $FONTPATH as simple as (in ksh) ksh>FONTPATH="/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/misc" and leave the rest alone. Still the same results, frozen cosole. I see no reason why a R3 server can't use R4 fonts. Besides, I didn't notice any error messages when I was building fonts and converting them to *.snfs. So am I missing something? I would appreciate any pointer regarding this. I would like to make R4 fonts available to users so they don't have to worry too much about such when they move among our four platforms. A related question, is the server shape extension for my patch level works? I built one in a scratch dir and got "XCOFF format error or non-executable" when trying to start it. No error messages when linking was done. Thanks in advance for any help. Please email to me if you would. I will summarize if there is enough interest.
