- Hi Folks,
-
- Two Questions...
-
- 1) Is there a bug in the HP X server that comes with a 700 series box. Sorry
- I don't know the server version ID.
-
- The bug is that if a make a pixmap, clear it using XFillRectangel,
- draw a string with XDrawString in the pixmap. The copy the pixmap, rotating
- it, into another pixmap, then copy this into a window, I get garbage where
- there should be a pixel rotated string. This is running on SPARC or
- DECstation and displaying on HP. It runs fine on all other platforms, when
- displaying on DEC, SPARC, IBM...
-
- 2) XtDefaultFont defines a backup font. I guess this is hard coded in the
- program and is not picked up at Program Invocation time. TRUE or FALSE?
-
- Evidence I have points to TRUE (unfortunately). ie if I run on a DECstation,
- but display on HP or IBM some fonts are found and in that case I ask for
- XtDefaultFont... that isn't found either!
-
- Replies by email please and I'll sumarise, but use the NET if you need to.
-
- Thanks people!
