Font Size of CDE Login Panel

[Kong Kian Chay]

Env : HP-UX 10.20, B2000, CDE vers 1.0

Someone has changed the look of the CDE Login Panel & Front Panel so that the font size is very small & the panels are very much smaller as well.

How do I change them back to default size ?

I have already tried :
a) Goto [Appln Mgr] - [Desktop Tools] - [Restore Front Panel]. Logout & Login. Reboot.
b) Goto [Desktop Style Mgr] - [Font]: Size 4.
Logout & Login. Reboot. Also tried Size 7,etc.

Are you sure someone has changed it ?

Are you logged directly onto the system or entering via a remote xterminal or PC connection ?

If yes it sounds almost as if the remote host has lost access to the correct set of fonts required. : check in /var/dt/Xerrors and consider setting up a font-server (xfs) to server the CDE fonts to the remote hosts : search say for xfs CDE and font server on this forum.

However just in case : the files you'd be after would be either /etc/dt/config/C/Xresources or /usr/dt/config/C/Xresources (/etc/... has preference) see

Dtlogin*Label and *textFont resources ?

I am doing a local login to the Workstation.

You are right that there are errors in the /var/dt/Xerrors --
X unable to load extension driver; GLX

I will be setting up the Font Server on the workstation subsequently (workstation occupied currently), & let you know the results.

Thanks for the assistance.

If its a local login the local machine will have access to the local fonts and should not need a font server to be set up ..... I'd go for my other suggestion(s)

[Alex Glennie]

STOP .... I just re-read your problem description .....

Am i right in saying the fonts are large within a CDE session ie once the user has logged in ?

If this is the case what effect does changing the font size via dtstyle manager have initially ?

It sounds like a home or current session may have saved font settings which you do not require ?

Try a" mv $HOME/.dt $HOME/.dt_orig" whilst your user is logged out of CDE, log back in ....any better ?

Thanks again for your asst.

When we change the font size via DTSTYLE Mgr, it affects only the newly opened windows. However, the CDE Login Panel & CDE Front Panel remains small.

Deleting $HOME/.dt & relogin has no effect.

Anything else that I can try ?

[Alex Glennie]

OK so it is the front panel you wish to increase the font size for ... did you try the resources I mentioned earlier in my first posting ? these should do the trick.

I have compared /usr/dt/config/C/Xresources with other NORMAL workstations using "diff" command & via visual "vi" inspection. There is no difference. There is no file /etc/dt/config/C/Xresources. Seems like the error in /var/dt/Xerrors is what cause the problem.

[Alex Glennie]

I'm not sure on this ..... can you post the complete Xerrors file to the forum.

I have one suggestion .... install the latest Xserver patch but it probably won't fix the problem ..... this is strange :(

[Kong Kian Chay]

The complete /var/dt/Xerrors messg was :

Deferred initialisation of HP's GLX extension failed.
Report problem to HP & try using "ServerOptions ImmediateLoadDles".
X unable to load extension driver; GLX.
