I looked through the FAQ and couldn't find anything regarding this,
but I know that I've seen something regarding this.  The question is,
how do I convert my Postscript Type 1 fonts into BDFs (or F3 fonts for
the OpenWindows)?  I'd like to generate the standard set of sizes.
Also, I have R5 with the type 1 font rendering code in it at home, are
there any special steps necessary to add these fonts to the font path?
Ie, suppose I have a directory /home/local/pdfonts?  I have a strong
suspicion that  xset +fp  /home/local/pdfonts won't do the trick. :)

Hi out there,

why am I getting an error when starting X11R5 on Sun SparcStation2 GS (or GT)
running SunOS 4.1.2 ?
(X11R5 is patched up to fix-10)

After starting X11, I received the following message :

	Fatal sever error
	no screens found
	XIO: fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) on X server "(null)"
	after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining
	The connection was probably broken by a server shutdown or KillClient


What does produce the error message
				   - SunOS 4.1.2
                                   - graphics accellerator card ?



If you have any suggestions, answers or solutions please let me know.
Thanks in advance

  My company is contemplating installing a network of X terminals and it
would be helpful to talk to someone who already has.  If your site has a 
network (even a small one) of X terminals and you would be willing to spend
a few minutes on the phone discussing your experience with the network, let me 
know what your name and phone number is.  Some issues we are interested in 
discussing are network considerations, administration, and performance.

This is probably a stupid newbie question, but what the hell - 

I'm writing (trying to write) a menu system in X, and would like
to have a login screen that takes up the whole screen, and can't be

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I thought this problem was beaten to death on this newsgroup 
just a few months back (not a flame, just an observation :-).
The problem is, as noted above, with dxwm.  It seems dxwm
(along with not being ICCCM compliant (at least, not yet :-))
gives you a pseudo-root window (god knows why).  This makes
all sorts of things go wrong, and you've just found one of them :-)

Every other window manager I've tried works just fine with xloadimage
(twm, uwm, hpwm, mwm, etc.).  Until recently, I worked for DEC in
the software group that developed the X11/PEX/DPS/etc. server software
for the DECStation 5000, and I can assure you it's *not* the server.
DEC is officially supporting Motif; part of this support includes
migrating to Motif clients (including the window manager).  Finally,
I've always liked mwm for aesthetic reasons, and you can make it look
and act like like most any of the other window managers.  I've heard
many folks say the same about twm.  Try other window managers -- you'll
be happy you did :-)

Try the pbmplus package from Jef Poskanzer. From the pixutils-faq in
alt.graphics.pixutils:

7) Free image manipulation software.  There are a number of toolkits
for converting from one image format to another, doing simple image
manipulations such as size scaling, plus the above-mentioned 24 -> 8,
color -> gray, gray -> b&w conversions.  Here are pointers to some of
them:

    PBMPLUS, by Jef Poskanzer.  Comprehensive format conversion and image
    manipulation package.  The latest version is always available via
    anonymous FTP as ftp.ee.lbl.gov:pbmplus*.tar.Z,
    wuarchive.wustl.edu:graphics/graphics/packages/pbmplus/pbmplus*.tar.Z,
    and export.lcs.mit.edu:contrib/pbmplus*.tar.Z.

    IM Raster Toolkit, by Alan Paeth (awpaeth@watcgl.uwaterloo.ca).
    Provides a portable and efficient format and related toolkit.  The
    format is versatile in supporting pixels of arbitrary channels,
    components, and bit precisions while allowing compression and machine
    byte-order independence.  The kit contains more than 50 tools with
    extensive support of image manipulation, digital halftoning and format
    conversion.  Previously distributed on tape c/o the University of
    Waterloo, an FTP version will appear someday.

    Utah RLE Toolkit.  Conversion and manipulation package, similar to
    PBMPLUS.  Available via FTP as cs.utah.edu:pub/urt-*,
    weedeater.math.yale.edu:pub/urt-*, and freebie.engin.umich.edu:pub/urt-*.

    Fuzzy Pixmap Manipulation, by Michael Mauldin <mlm@nl.cs.cmu.edu>.
    Conversion and manipulation package, similar to PBMPLUS.  Version 1.0
    available via FTP as nl.cs.cmu.edu:/usr/mlm/ftp/fbm.tar.Z,
    uunet.uu.net:pub/fbm.tar.Z, and ucsd.edu:graphics/fbm.tar.Z.

    Img Software Set, by Paul Raveling <raveling@venera.isi.edu>.  Reads and
    writes its own image format, displays on an X11 screen, and does some
    image manipulations.  Version 1.3 is available via FTP as
    export.lcs.mit.edu:contrib/img_1.3.tar.Z, and
    venera.isi.edu:pub/img_1.3.tar.Z along with a large collection of color
    images.

How are you setting the mappedWhenManaged resource, and how do you
create the dialog?

I tried this once myself, and this is how I did it.  Someone else
might have a better way, or there might be a bug in the way I've
done it...  But there's a bit of a backflip that you've got to to
through.

Suppose that you want to create a popup bulletin board.  You might
then have code that runs something like:

	wBullBoardDiag = XmCreateBulletinBoardDialog(
		parent, "PopupGraffitiBoard", args, XtNumber(args));

The wBullBoardDiag will point not to the dialog shell, but the bulletin
board.  If you want to manage this without mapping it, then you must
set the XtNmappedWhenManaged resource in the dialog shell:

	i = 0;
	XtSetArg(args[i], XmNmappedWhenManaged, FALSE); i++;
	XtSetValues(XtParent(wBullBoardDiag), args, i);

Notice that I used XtParent(wBullBoardDiag) to get the Dialog Shell.

You must convert the fonts to .pfa format first.  If you have
Ghostscript 2.4, use "pfbtogs":

	pfbtogs futura3.pfb futura3.pfa

Then you have to construct logical font names for the fonts.  If
you're interested, I can send you an undocumented Perl script that
guesses XLFD names from the attributes in the .pfa files and also
generates a Fontmap file for Ghostscript.

Why so complicated!
Make your comm-process a simple X-process (without any windows).
Then you use ICCC to communicate with your X-application.
There is no need for timeouts and your application is totally
independent of the underlying operating system.

Since I have also been getting a few people asking where they can
access to a webster server.
Here is it as answered in the FAQs for X.


Subject:  28)  Where can I find a dictionary server for xwebster?

        Webster's still owns the copyright to the on-line copies of Webster's
Dictionary which are found at various (university) sites. After it became aware
that these sites were then acting as servers for other sites running xwebster 
and gnuemacs-webster, it asked that server sites close off external access.
     [The NeXT machine apparently is also licensed to have the dictionary. A
Webster daemon for NeXT machines is available from iuvax.cs.indiana.edu 
(129.79.254.192) in "pub/webster/NeXT-2.0".]
        Unless you want to get a legal on-line copy yourself or can
find a site which can grant you access, you are probably out of luck. 

        However, if you are a legitimate site, you'll want to pick up the
latest xwebster, as-is on export:contrib/xwebster.tar.Z [10/91]; the file 
xwebster.README includes discussions of the availability, illegality,and 
non-availability of dictionary servers.

I just installed windows 3.1 and made all the proper modifications to
the system.ini file that Xvision requires and the program fails to
find valid hosts and has some screen problems.  Just to make sure I
wasn't doing something stupid, I cross-referenced the ini files between
my old working 3.0 and the current ini files.  Everything the Xvision
requires is there.  I even reinstalled Xvision.  After this I called
support and promptly wasted over an hour of my time and my phone bill to
to get nothing resolved except that it worked on the beta version.  Too
bad that deskview/X11 is out because if Xvision does not call me back
very shortly, they just lost all of our buisness which was going to
be substantial.

Beware!
