XFont problems using X-Win32
 
|
Some colleagues of mine are using X-Win32 as terminal emulator to connect to Linux boxes. They have problems when Smalltalk (VW7.10) on those boxes tries to create a new font. I am using EXCEED (and have no X-Win available) and never had such a problem. Is there anybody out there who knows about that problem and can point me to the reason and/or a solution/workaround ?

On modern Linux systems, you need to specifically install the old fonts to make VW work. However, originally X11 fonts were part of the X11 server (i.e. your X-Win32). They are either accessed from a bunch of local fonts files on the same machine as X-Win32, or via a font server. xfs is a font server that comes with Linux. I suspect this is the cause of your problem. The solutions are: 1) Nag the VW team to implement modern fonts using, e.g., freetype. or 2) Install some fonts for X-Win32 to use, or 3) Install xfs on Linux and configure X-Win32 to use it as a font server. or 4) Use another X server. Try XMing. Alternatively, try Xvnc on linux and a vnc client on Windows, or Xrdp on Linux and a RDP client on windows. or 5) Run VW on windows.

Another option would be to load the package "Xft-DesktopIntegration" from Cincom's public repository into the image and see if it works with X-Win32. It adds Xft font support. It worked for me with the Cygwin/X server for Windows. |
