Operating Systems Solaris Xserver won't come up on Solaris 8 Post 46195 by Gravity on Saturday 10th of January 2004 08:17:39 AM
Old 01-10-2004
Hello all,

Further to my last post, I've managed to get the login screen up Smilie For some reason it says "W" where the server name should be (the server's name is not W) and when I try to login to CDE, it loads the toolbars and background, then clicks back to the login screen.

This only occurs for non-root users.

The errors I'm finding in /var/dt/Xerrors are:

cannot find encoding file for iso8859-1

syntax error in /usr/openwin/lib/x11/fonts/encodings.dir

syntax error in
/usr/openwin/lib/x11/fonts/TrueType/ttmap/ttmaps.dir

There are no errorlogs created in the user's home directory Smilie

Any ideas about this one?!

Thanks
Gemma

NAME
ttmkfdir - Utility to create fonts.scale files for truetype fonts SYNOPSIS
ttmkfdir [OPTION] DESCRIPTION
Originally written by Joerg Pommnitz, ttmkfdir is a tool to create valid and complete fonts.scale file from TrueType fonts. It is very useful when you plan to use a TrueType enabled font server that is based on the X11R6 sample implementation (xfsft for instance). Great care has been taken to correctly identify the encodings that a given TrueType font supports. The ttmkfdir comes with Red Hat Linux has experienced quite some modifications or improvements, include: - migration to FreeType 2 library - more accurate checking for big font files - support for both two X core font backends, Freetype and XTT - Truetype collection(ttc) font file support - additional CJK friendly features - bug fixes OPTIONS
Here is the detailed usage of Red Hat version of ttmkfdir. -h, --help It shows the menus and combo box in iok UI -e, --encoding <encodings.dir> ttmkfdir is doing its job by checking each TrueType font file against fontenc layer, please refer www.xfree86.org/current/fonts.html for details. Default encodings.dir file is /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings/encodings.dir -o, --output Specify output, default is fonts.scale in the current directory -d, --font-dir Specify TrueType font directory, default is the current directory -f, --default-foundry Specify name of the default font foundry, default is "misc" -m, --max-missing Specify the maximum number of missing characters per encoding, default is 5. This option applies to the encoding that has less than 256 codepoint definitions. -a, --max-missing-percentage Specify the maximum percentage of missing characters per encoding, default is 2. This option applies to the encoding that has more than 256 codepoint definitions. -b, --font-backend For X FreeType backend, use value "1", for XTT backend use value "2", default value is 1. When you have TrueType Collection font(.ttc), you need to use this option. -x, --additional-entries Additional entries mean those extra TTCaps stuff for XTT backend, mainly for bold and italic font support. Or for FreeType backend, because FreeType still doesn't support bold and italic font, ttmkfdir can generate extra "dummy" XLFDs, so applications who asking those fonts won't complain. Default value is "0" means off,otherwise use "1" to switch it on. -c, --completeness use less strict completeness tests for encoding tables -p, --panose use panose information AUTHOR
