HP-UX: Problem viewing directory with BDF...
Hi all,

When I use BDF command on this particular server, it outputs mostly normal stuff. However, there is one directory it can't read at all.

Also, it doesn't seem to exist.

When I BDF my file system with a small panic script (it happens even if you use just the bdf command):

Quote:
rtiadmin(izivanov):/home/izivanov> bdfpanic
bdf: /var/test: Permission denied
File System close to full - rtiadmin:/var/adm/depot is at 86%
As you can see the /var/test has a problem with permissions.

I went there to see if I can view the problem...

Quote:
rtiadmin(root):/home2/root# cd /var/test
sh: /var/test: Permission denied.
rtiadmin(root):/home2/root# ll /var/test
/var/test not found
Pretty weird. I doesn't even seem to see anything there. But BDF function see's it!

Has anyone seen this before?

Thanks

bdf2gdfont.pl

BDF2GDFONT(1)						User Contributed Perl Documentation					     BDF2GDFONT(1)

NAME

       bdf2gdfont.pl - Convert X11 "BDF" fonts into a loadable font format for GD.

SYNOPSIS

	 % bdf2gdfont.pl courR12.bdf > courR12.fnt

DESCRIPTION

       This script converts BDF-style X11 font files into a format that can be loaded by the GD module using the GD::Font->load() method.  There
       are a number of ways to obtain BDF fonts.

       1. The font is already present on your system.
	   Some BDF fonts can be found in the standard X11R6 distribution. This script will automatically uncompress gzipped font files if their
	   extension ends with .gz (the gunzip program must be on your path).

       2. From a font server.
	   The "fstobdf" utility, a standard X11 utility, will read a named font from the font server of your choice and return it in BDF format.
	   You can pipe it to bdf2gdfont.pl:

	     fstobdf -s fontserverhost:7100 -fn 8x16 | bdf2gdfont.pl > newfont.fnt

	   Use xlsfonts to find out what fonts are available.  Most fonts will have long names like
	   -B&H-LucidaTypewriter-Bold-R-Normal-Sans-18-180-75-75-M-110-ISO8859-10.

       3. Using the pcf2bdf utility.
	   Some fonts are only available in PCF (compiled) format.  To obtain these, you can either turn on a font server and follow recipe (2),
	   or use TAGA Nayuta's pcf2bdf utility. This utility is available from http://www.tsg.ne.jp/GANA/S/pcf2bdf/ (page is in Japanese, but you
	   can find the download link).

   Limitations
       This font converter only works with fixed-width fonts.  If used with a TrueType or proportional font it will die with an error message.
