See bug #73419. These problems will hopefully be fixed with the new openmotif version 2.2.3 that will be available soon. I recompiled your new version of openmotif on RHEL3. The problem still exists, but on the same version of OpenMotif, on FC2, the problem doesn't show up. My test version of OpenMotif is there, I only changed the dependencies (XFree86-devel, etc.): http://people.redhat.com/bnocera/openmotif To reproduce the problem, you just need to open the file chooser (Ctrl+O) and watch the errors fly by. I recompiled nedit with Tim's patch, bug #75189 and it works fine. Updated nedit at the above URL as well. This requires further openmotif fixes as far as I can tell. Needs a new nedit package now. Does nedit actually need any changes or does openmotif-2.2.3-3 fix everything? I'm unable to reproduce this bug any more. Please reopen this bug if you still see this issue. Thanks, Jindrich |
Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nedit-5.3-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: launching nedit over ssh. ssh from a Red Hat Linux 9 system to a Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 3 system and run nedit. The following error messages are logged in the background nedit fails to function correctly (there is no way to select a file without the extra font errors occuring regardless of font selection in the preferences/default settings tab: $ nedit Cannot convert string "fixed" to type FontStruct Name: Text Class: XmTextField Character '\162' not supported in font. Discarded. Name: Text Class: XmTextField Character '\143' not supported in font. Discarded. Additional info: After further investigation: error message is given in line 4226/4233 approx of nedit source: preferences.c This points to the Motif XMText widget library called in the beginning of the code as: Xm/Text.h This may simply refer to a missing fixed font alias or font or may be related to openmotif incompatibilities? version info: rh9 openmotif-2.2.2-14 RHEL AS 3 openmotif21-2.1.30-8 and openmotif-2.2.2-16 an ssh connection from the same RHL 9 to an RHEL AS2.1 machine and then running nedit version nedit-5.1.1-10 with openmotif versions: RHL 9 openmotif-2.2.2-14 RHEL AS2.1 openmotif version openmotif-2.1.30-11 shows no font errors and works fine. also selecting the same 'known good' font that this nedit session is using for the previous rhl to rhel3 connection using the command: nedit -font '-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*' does not prevent the font errors.
