I am using for a long time Cygwin/X X Server on my Windows XP PC to connect to HP-UX boxes. To solve the usual problem of missing fonts, I had already set up an HP-UX box as a font server and used the option "-fp tcp/mnisrv:7000" to get the fonts.<BR /><BR />Recently, I upgraded my Cygwin installation on my PC. As a result Cygwin/X X Server was upgraded to version 1.5.3 (I do NOT actually remember my previously used version which had no font problem). Now I have the above problem when I run dtterm, swinstall etc. A "comic" font is used instead which makes the screen output disoriented.<BR /><BR />The cygwin command to launch X Server on my PC is something like this:<BR /><BR />c:\[...]\cygwin\bin\run -p /usr/bin /usr/bin/xwin :2 -query dvnsrv -fp tcp/mnisrv:7000 -clipboard -nodecoration -unixk<BR />ill 1&gt;c:\[...]\xwin2.out 2&gt;c:\[...]\xwin2.err<BR /><BR />Any ideas?<BR /><BR />Thank you!

Protter 2008-11-19T14:21:39Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/cannot-convert-string-quot-dt-interface-system-medium-r-normal-m/m-p/4309314#M339137 Hi Steven,<BR /><BR />As I mentioned above, I ALREADY have a font server defined (in the above example, "mnisrv" is the HP-UX box that serves the fonts).<BR /><BR />The problem is that the Cygwin/X X Server on my PC cannot use *one* of these fonts.<BR /><BR />To be more specific, when I select Font Size = 12.5 in the dtterm Terminal window, I get the "comic" font. All other font sizes are OK.<BR /><BR />The error messages for the default (12.5) font are like this:<BR /><BR />Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion<BR />Warning: Cannot convert string "-dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-m*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" to type FontSet<BR />Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion<BR />Warning: Cannot convert string "-dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-m*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" to type FontSet<BR /><BR />The problem is on the new version of Cygwin/X X Server (1.5.3). Other versions or other X Server emulation software have no problem.

This server does NOT have this problem and works fine.
