- We have had some problems with the Wavefront Software as well
- under 4.0.5. Also, FAST does not run under 4.0.5. However,
- through some experimentation and use of trace we were able to
- determine that the failings are due to an inability to deal
- with fonts properly. A fix that worked for us was to replace
- the fonts in /usr/lib/fmfonts with the old 4.0.1 ones (this
- includes the old X11 fonts and not links to the new ones) and
- to replace the /usr/lib/libfm_s and /usr/lib/libfm_s.a with
- their 4.0.1 versions. We did receive a fix for FAST, but I
- don't think this is official so I will say no more--contact
- the person who gave you the software.
-
- Will the font changes break anything? We have not seen any
- problems, but we have not left them in for regular use.
-
- By the way the Wavefront programs that we know
- just won't run without the font changes are
-
- Data Visualizer 2.1
- Visualizer Paint 2.0
- Advanced Visualizer 2.11
-
-
- We have not seen problems under either font scheme with
-
- Advanced Visualizer 3.0
- Video Composer 1.1
