1483.0. "Help with missing font please." by LEG::GURRAN (Your reality or mine...) Mon Sep 25 1989 09:11

    Hi,
    	I am running VMS 5.2, DECW V2 FT1 on a GPX. Since installing V2 I
    have got the following error whenever I set host to another machine.
    
    Can't find font-*-Terminal-Medium-*-Normal--14-0-*-*-*-*-*-1.
    
    I have looked around in the conference for an answer but couldn't find
    anything. Does anyone out there have any ideas ?
    
    I am sure it is something simple but I don't know much about the way
    font work.
    
    Ta,
    	Martin

Re: .0

That's a known problem with IFT1 that should be fixed in FT1: you'll get this
error message when you try to display double high characters (which are
probably in the login message for the system you're setting host to).  You can
work around the problem by defining these resources in your decw$xdefaults.dat
file:

	*bigFontSetName: -*-Terminal-*-*-*--*-180-*-*-*-*-*-*
	*littleFontSetName: -*-Terminal-*-*-*--*-140-*-*-*-*-*-*
