- Hello,
- I'm trying to run Spectragraphics PC-Xview for windows on a PS2-model 57sx and
- telneting to a RS6k-model 560 running aixv3.2.2. Aixterm seems to work fine.
- I'm also trying to run SDE/Workbench and I can't get past a problem with the
- fonts and color scheme.
- The Development Manager displays that it can't convert Swiss 742 bold.
- If I try to edit anything, the screen flashes for about a minute and then says
- it could handle a list of colors described as hex values, and that it couldn't
- handle the emergency font Erg14.
-
- Has anyone seen any of this before?
- PC-Xview has a font compiler to convert bdf fonts to fon. Are there any such
- fonts on the RS6k?
- I found a hit in the IBM-Infolink, but they would answer the guy because it was
- OEM.(sigh)
- If I can't get this flying soon, we'll have to try XONDOS.(double sigh)
- I'd appreciate any suggestions this conference could make. Thank you.
