Missing charsets

Daniel Fourie — Thu, 21 Feb 2002 09:37:08 GMT

I get the following message when I connect from my Linux box (RedHat 7.1) to my HP-UX 11 box and trying to open Network Node Manager 6.1

ovw: Xt Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion

See attached I suspect you either need to setup a fontserver to serve the HP fonts to the linux system , or via Xresources set a different font.

set up xfs as per doc on hpux, then run xset +fp tcp/:7000 on the linux system before running the gui .....

Hi

This indeed font orientated .

try this on linux

#get a chooser
#parameters hp-uxbox n[ where n=1-3]
#
#example choosecde topaz 1
#
#note you also should give a fontserver
#
X :$2 -indirect $1 -fp tcp/topaz:7000 &
exit

or

#get direct cde login
#
#parameters hp-uxbox n[ where n=1-3]
#
#example getcde topaz 1
#
#note you also should give a fontserver
#
X :$2 -query $1 -fp tcp/topaz:7000 -once -terminate &
exit

There are 3 areas on a linux box where
this works well and so you can have a chooser or direct connect

topaz is always my font server

I get the following error on my Linux box trying to choose a chooser.

Xlib: extension "RENDER" missing on display ":0.0".

Why not just try setting up xfs first, add the fontpath and export the display first.

If you want to then add the chooser etc after fine.

keep it simple ;)
