[expert] xfs problems

2001-04-30 Thread Laurent Duperval

Hi,

I'm using Together J 4.0 on Mandrake 8.0. I've noticed that when I start it,
it crashes the font server and a lot of applications stop working. Together
J itself hangs during its start up sequence. I can figure out where the xfs
erros are sent so I'm not really sure why this is happening. It also affects
other apps, such as gvim.

Anyone know what the problem is?

  When it crashes xfs, if you have a working console app (like xterm?

  Ctrl-Alt-F2, log in, go to superuser and do what I just wrote

 Ok, I had that going already.

  Whenever I have run into problems with xfs crashing, it has invariably
  been because it cannot find font: misc fixed for something along that
  line. This usually was associated with my using antialiased fonts.

 Ok, how do I fix that?

 Hmpf.  IS that the error you get?  I believe it is cannot find font fixed: 
 misc  
 

Font specified in font.properties not found 
[--symbol-medium-r-normal--*-%d-*-*-p-*-adobe-fontspecific]
Exception occurred during event dispatching:

That's what I get. I get a  whole lot of the font.properties error then I
start getting the NullPointerException's.

 As for fixing it...I was never able to - I ended up changing my fonts around 
 in apps.  You could try to load the font placed up for use in the expert 
 group recently by akar 'th 'orrible:

 It is a fixed-width font that MAY fix your problem.  Perhaps someone in the 
 list can offer more specifics on fixing the problem (reording the font 
 directories, etc).

Well, I'll try it to see.
