2439.0. "conflicting Font command definitions" by SCOTMN::AUSTIN () Tue Mar 13 1990 06:53

We have seen a problem today where a customer has upgraded to v5.2 VMS 
from V5.02, Previously customer had been using the Font Utility to down line 
load fonts to a LN01 laser printer. Now he is finding that the utility fails 
when it tries to execute a font/assign command. The error recd is invalid 
qualifier /ASSIGN/. 

There seems to be a conflict between the font compiler provided by DECWindows 
and the font utility supplied for font down line loading. Both are attempting 
to use the same command verb. 

Would reinstalling the Font Utility cause problems, ie redefining font 
command. I can see that you wouldn't be able to compile fonts , but are 
there any other `side effects' or problems you would expect to see.  

I have posted this in the Fonts and DECWindows conferences.

Thanks in advance for any help or comments.

I believe reinstalling the Font Utility will have no effect on DECwindows
other than rendering the Font Compiler unusable.

Thanks for reporting this.  I suggest you enter a QAR in DECWINDOWS-IFT
to remind us to do something about this.
