** Summary changed: - Unable to input text to mathematica 6.0.1 in Hardy (regression from Gutsy) + Mathematica renders fonts incorrectly in Hardy
** Description changed: - I am testing Mathematica 6.0.1 in Hardy (Alpha 5 all updates). Installs - fine and the gui runs since I have libstdc++5 installed. However, typing - into a mathematica notebook no characters appear on the screen. - Occasionally there are black dots where the letters should be.I have - tried several different fonts with the same effect. Mathematica runs - fine on the same box using Gutsy. The only thing I can think of is that - the new xorg and mathematica are not communicating? (Mathematica's - frontend is written in Motif, I believe). + Mathematica 6.0.1 and 6.0.2 are unable to properly render the font in + code cells when running in Hardy. In Gutsy, both versions work fine. + Under Hardy, the letters are rendered in the same color as the + background. For example, if you type the word Plot in an input cell, and + then choose Format->Options inspector, Global and change the background + of the document to say blue, the word Plot then appears in white (the + default background color). Starting a new input cell and again typing + Plot, the letters are no longer visible - in fact they are in blue. This + effect occurs with or without compiz and independently of the chosen + font. - Log files tell me nothing; nor does starting Mathematica from a - terminal. + Also, the following error messages appear on the console: - My box is 64 bit, 2GB of ram, ATI X700 graphics card. Am using the fglrx - driver (version 8.02 on both Hardy and Gutsy). Tried the open source - driver with same effect. + X Error of failed request: RenderBadPicture (invalid Picture parameter) + Major opcode of failed request: 154 (RENDER) + Minor opcode of failed request: 7 (RenderFreePicture) + Picture id in failed request: 0x320588a + Serial number of failed request: 224702 + Current serial number in output stream: 224704 - Not sure where to turn here but this is troublesome as Mathematica runs - beautifully under Gutsy. + X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) + Major opcode of failed request: 154 (RENDER) + Minor opcode of failed request: 4 (RenderCreatePicture) + Serial number of failed request: 224987 + Current serial number in output stream: 224990 -- Mathematica renders fonts incorrectly in Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/197163 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
