- First and foremost, I want to say thankx to everyone that replied,
- Im constantly amazed by just how many people read these newsgroups
- and just how helpful those people are. There were three possible
- solutions given to me by various people: 1) move lib.so.4
- 2) change LD_LIBRARY_PATH 3) get static client
-
- 2) didnt work for some reason
- 3) almost worked BUT... heh, well, heres part of my session,
- should be self-explantory:
-
- /tmp 68>udp_client.sun4_static -h sturgeon.cs.washington.edu -p 2592
- netrek: Can't find font -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--34-*-*-*-*-*-*-*. Trying others...
- X Error: BadAccess
- Request Major code 89 ()
- Request Minor code 0
- ResourceID 0x600028
- Error Serial #64
- Current Serial #69
- /tmp 69>

- Well, anyone able to help me with this one.. Looks like I got two
- problems for the price of one. Cant find the fonts.. (Ive
- never understood Xwindows fonts, and never will), AND theres
- some problems with Xwindows even after it uses the default font
- (which I bet is some microscopic awful font.. seems its always
- that way whenever I try using a new font opening a new xterm).
-
- Any ideas?
