- I am getting the error: 'Warning: Cannot convert string "3270" to type FontStruct' when
- running x3270. No characters appear on the window. The procedure used to install the
- 3270 font was (taken from the Makefile):
-
- bdftosnf -t 3270.bdf >3270.snf
- for i in 3270.snf; do\
- (set -x; install -c $i /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc);;\
- done
- mkfontdir /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc
-
- The fonts.dir file was properly updated, and all permissions look okay. Any ideas?
