| What kind of error do you get? Just no text appearing? Do you get info back
on XQueryFont?

| 1935.2 | right? | TKTV20::AIKO | | Tue Dec 19 1989 06:21 | 12 |
| I received 'BadName' error and 'BadFont' error.
But my program is successfully executed after I defined the following symbol,
decw$server_density == 100
Is this the right way to use 100 dpi fonts?
Is this the only way to use 100 dpi fonts?

| The symbol you have shown instructs the server to register (load?) the
100 DPI fonts in addition to the 75 dpi fonts.

| See the instructions in sys$manager:decw$private_server_setup.com.
There are also instructions in the VMS V5.3 Upgrade and Installation
Procedures Manual in the chapter on starting and customizing
DECwindows.

You mean the definition of symbol isn't related to the execution of
program ? But my program can't run without this definition.
Or you want to say this is well-known way to use 100 dpi fonts ?

| 1935.6 | decw$server_density only applies to the server | STAR::VATNE | Peter Vatne, VMS Development | Wed Dec 20 1989 10:44 | 25 |

Let me make sure that I understand what you are doing. Are you doing
something like:
$ decw$server_density == 100
$ run your_program
and the program runs correctly? This is strange, because the symbol
is not used by any code or library on the client (application) side.
This symbol can only be used in DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM to tell
the server that it should use the 100 DPI fonts instead of the default
75 DPI fonts. This file must be in SYS$MANAGER:, and it only takes
effect when the server is restarted (or the system is rebooted). As
Vince suggests, your best bet is to read the VMS installation guide.
This is not the only way to use 100 DPI fonts. Applications may also
use the XSetFontPath routine to specify the directory path used to look
for fonts. Your application can explicitly specify the directories
containing the 100 DPI fonts. However, I don't recommend this. It
is better for your application to accept the default fonts, and then
to specify the correct density in DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM.
