core after Xwinconnecting from PC

[twang]

Hi,
I tried to connect our A box(11.0) using WinaXe v6.0, a core dump was generated:

#core: core file from 'dtgreet' - received SIGSEGV

and checked the Xerrors, found messages:

Warning: Cannot convert string "-dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-s*-*-*-*-*-
*-*-*-*" to type FontList
Warning: Cannot convert string "-dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-s*-*-*-*-*-
*-*-*-*:" to type FontList
Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
Warning: Cannot convert string "-dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-s*-*-*-*-*-*-
*-*-*" to type FontSet
Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset
Warning:
Name: FONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG_STRING
Class: XmRendition
Conversion failed. Cannot load font.

Can anyone help me to identify the problem?
Any help will be highly appreciated.

thanks

Is the font server running on your HP box ? Check if in /etc/rc.config.d/xfs RUN_X_FONT_SERVER is set to 1 (if not set it and run /sbin/init.d/xfs start). On your PC you need to configure your X client to point to the font server on the HP box (running on port 7000 on HP-UX 11.)

Carol is correct, however you may need to add the dt-interface fonts to the font servers catalogue ?
see below :

1. Modify the Font Path so it includes an entry for a font
server that you are using. If a fontserver is not set up
or the fontserver's config file does not include the CDE fonts
(/usr/dt/config/xfonts/C/) then set up a font server as follows:

a. Edit the file /etc/X11/fs/config and append
/usr/dt/config/xfonts/C/ to the end of the catalog line.

b. Edit the file /etc/rc.config.d/xfs and make sure it has the following set:
RUN_X_FONT_SERVER=1

c. Start the fontserver by typing the following:
/sbin/init.d/xfs start
NOTE: If the fontserver was previously running, then it
will have to be stopped before re-starting.

The rest of the settings can be customized to meet your needs.

& dont forget to add the fp for xfs to the PC Xemulators fp head.

do a search for xfs on this forum for more detailed setup instructions.

Thanks for your replys, I cannot check the fontpath:
# xset -q
xset: unable to open display ""

And I don't know how to set the Xwin on PC to point to the a-box 's port.

Pls advise.

Xset needs a bitmapped display to work on :

The error you are seeing is most likely because :

a) you are running on a console not under an Xsession

b) $DISPLAY is not set correctly : set it to HOSTNAME:0.0 ! and re-run the command.

As to how to set the font-path on the PC Xemulator ... You will have to contact the vendor or manuals, I have never seen this s/w before.

However it won't be difficult, most likely set via an Xconfig options screen/gui, have a look in the application menus and if it has on-line help try searching for font(path) ?

All you need to add is the tcp entry and restart the Xemulation s/w !
