Decwindows with KEA!X : report
I regularly get font not found messages.
I regularly get messages of (bold) fonts having the wrong size (or side effects of that).
Some of them disappear when you play with the sequence of fonts paths.
Why ? Is there a solution ?
YES. The good news is that I already found it myself.
KEA!X uses fonts of itself and fonts of Windows. Windows also tries to calculate the missing fonts (but sometimes wrongly). But a real VMS workstation uses the fonts delivered with OpenVMS. So these are the ones we need.
1) on VMS, modify sys$startup:decw$private_server_setup.com. Add a line
$ DECW$START_FONT_SERVER == "TRUE"
Restart decwindows. There should be a process called DECW$XFS. If not, there could be missing some files on your system (I had, no proper error message, had to compare the directory with a working one and found 2 files missing).
2) on pc in the font tab of KEA!X config, add tcp/node:7100 at the top of the font list.
KEA!X will now download the fonts from the VMS node. Now the fonts will look the same as on a real workstation and no more error messages are given. Side effect : startup is slower.
I guess ReflectionX must have analogue problems.
Any further remarks are welcome.

Re: Decwindows with KEA!X : report
You don't need to restart DECwindows. No need to terminate all your existing windows. The appropriate RUN/DETACHED command can be found in SYS$STARTUP:DECW$STARTSERVER.COM. Just execute it from SYSTEM to start your font server.
You only need ONE font server anywhere in your network, it can run on any platform, and can serve any platform. You may also have more than one for redundancy.
You can define the symbol DECW$FONT_SERVERS in DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP to be a list of font servers which your server can use to resolve font requests.
There are two programs in SYS$SYSTEM for talking to font servers, FSINFO and FSLSFONTS. Simplest usage is:
To see if it's alive:
$ MCR FSINFO -SERVER your.node.address:7100
To list all available fonts:
$ MCR FSLSFONTS -server tcp/your.node.address:7100 -fn "*"
$ MCR DECW$EXAMPLES:XMFONTS
to display font samples.

Re: Decwindows with KEA!X : report
But today all kea!x clients restarted. For some strange reason all clients say
Could not open default font "fixed".
Please reinstall "misc" font.
Nothing changed in the fonts.
Any ideas ?

Re: Decwindows with KEA!X : report
XFS received the string "fixed" from kea!x (tcptrace). No readable error messages found in the tcptrace.
