Hello. I am trying to use XftDrawString8 to draw slightly translucent
text on the base screen (outside of a window) and depending on where I
call it, either nothing shows up, or else the program seg faults and
crashes.
I call:
XftDrawString8(flash_draw, render_color,
flash_font, 150, 150,
(XftChar8 *) "M", strlen("M"));
Where:
flash_draw = XftDrawCreate(dpy,
DefaultRootWindow(dpy),
DefaultVisual(dpy,
DefaultScreen(dpy)),
DefaultColormap(dpy,
DefaultScreen(dpy)));
dpy = XOpenDisplay(NULL);
flash_font = XftFontOpenName(dpy,
DefaultScreen(dpy), "mono-200");
I have used the rest of this code within the same program to get
successful font viewings within windows defined with XCreateSimpleWindow
with success, and I just don't know enough about the inner-workings of
Xlib/XRender to know what I am doing wrong. I doubt anyone will be able
to figure out my error from this information, but if anybody has sample
code or insight into what might be wrong, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
James Fraumeni
