Fon.dir Error HPUX 11.23

[Victor Burguillos_4]

Hi when I try to run the xset command in My HPUX showme the folloging error:
srvhpux1:/> xset +fp tcp/srvhpux1:7000
xset: bad font path element (#59), possible causes are:
Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
Directory missing fonts.dir
Incorrect font server address or syntax.

Any Idea...

Regards.

Hello Victor,

similar command works for me. From the error it looks as if xset mistook the fontserver path for a directory.

Could it be a shell issue? Test with

xset +fp "tcp/srvhpux1:7000"
xset +fp 'tcp/srvhpux1:7000'

Does it give the same error?

Hope this helps,

Hi again,

Is the font server running? (process name xfs)
Is the font server configured to start at boot? (file /etc/rc.config.d/xfs)
Is xfs configured to listen on port 7000? (-port 7000 argument in file /sbin/init.d/xfs)


Regards
