Allin- I apologize for not getting back to you sooner. I am still having errors. Before I emailed you last time I spent around 7 hours trying to get it to work and wanted to give it another thorough go. I haven't, and I apologize. I get this with: Data>Display Values>All variables ** (gretl_x11:849): WARNING **: Cannot open font file for font Courier New 12 ** (gretl_x11:849): WARNING **: Cannot open fallback font, nothing to do After modifying gretl.sh to "export GDK_USE_XFT=0": ** (gretl_x11:865): WARNING **: Couldn't load font "Monospace 12" falling back to "Sans 12" ** (gretl_x11:865): WARNING **: Couldn't load font "Sans 12" falling back to "Sans 12" ** (gretl_x11:865): WARNING **: All font failbacks failed!!!! ********** xset -q yields the following with regards my font path: Font Path: /Applications/Gretl_Folder/fonts,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/X11R6/lib /X11/fonts/Speedo/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/ ,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/ Let me know if you would like more information about these paths. (*.dir dumps or what have you.) Again I apologize for not being more adept at Unix programming/configuration. Give me a box number at Wake Forest and I'll send your wife a boxed copy of Panther. (Do you mind?) Cheers! Saam Barrager
