Re: Missing charsets

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 .....

Re: Missing charsets

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".

Re: Missing charsets

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 ;)
