| 1987.1 | Font problem of some kind, I'd guess | HANNAH::MESSENGER | Bob Messenger | Wed Jan 03 1990 18:50 | 10 |
| Re: .0
<esc>#6 sets the current line to double width, single height characters. For
some reason, DECterm wasn't able to load the double width font and it
didn't fall back correctly to the default font.
Have you specified your own fonts in a resource file somewhere? I'm not
sure why you'd be getting this error.

| 1987.2 | Bad Font? | SETH::FITZGERALD | | Thu Jan 04 1990 15:09 | 8 |
| Thanks for the reply. No we haven't specified any fonts of our own.
I find that if I customize the window to use 'Big Font' or set the
terminal width to 132 columns the esc#6 sequence works fine. Do I have a
font problem? How/where do I check?

| Re: .2
Since DECterm works normally with big or condensed fonts, this does seem to
be a font problem. The font file that DECterm can't handle is either
sys$common:[sysfont.decw.75dpi]terminal_wide14.decw$font or
sys$common:[sysfont.decw.100dpi]terminal_wide10_100dpi.decw$font, depending
on whether you're on a 75 or 100 dpi system. One thing that might be
worth trying would be to copy the corresponding font from the VS3100 and
then restarting the server.
It might be worthwhile to get a DECterm log file. To do this, define
the logical name DECW$DECTERM_OUTPUT in your LOGIN.COM as the name of the
log file and then restart the DECterm controller (e.g. by quitting out of
the session and logging back in).

| 1987.5 | That's it! | SETH::FITZGERALD | | Fri Jan 05 1990 14:53 | 13 |
| Bob,
Fantastic. Thanks. It's a corrupt font file. I copied the files
indicated in .4 from a standalone system and it still didn't work. So I
copied all the sys$common:[sysfont.decw.75dpi]*.decw$font files from the
standalone to the LAVC and it worked.
BTW, the VS3100 was also having this problem. The user had his decterms
customized to 'Big Font' and I didn't think twice about it. That's why
his was the only system on the cluster working when I entered the base
note.
