663.0. "specifying font on VMS 5.0T3?" by GADOL::LANGFELDT (Complex lives are happy lives!) Mon Apr 24 1989 15:09

    
    I have a customer who has a VAXstation 3100 running VMS 5.0T3-B2,
    and DECwindows.
    
    Does anyone know the syntax for XLoadFont on that version?  I've
    tried the file name, the font name (-Adobe-Curier...), the
    font name with asterisks -- and still get a server error on
    the XLoadFont call.
    
    I can get them up-to-date software, but they are trying to be
    ready for a show next week, so we need a short term fix.
    
    Any ideas?
    
    Thanks,
      Sharon

Is this site still running the FT2 for PVAX? You should get them updated to
V5.1-B and the DECwindows V5.1 kit.

Re: .0

For one thing, it's "Courier", not "Curier".

    Have them write a small program which does an XOpenDisplay followed by
    an XListFonts, and then printf's the returned value. That will give
    them the font names in the syntax the server knows about..

Or you could run xlsfonts from an Ultrix system, which does essentially what
.3 proposes with less work.
