I do this (running jconsole under emacs): load 'plot' 'type surface' plot +/~2 o. i:5j99
At least I do get the plot even if I also get this error message and it locks out further input in the session until I kill the plot window. However, this seems to work without the error message when I run it from the GTK IDE window. I suspect my other errors, with the crashes attempting to use the configure options under the GTK IDE, are due to some problem with my machine as I get a similar crash attempting to run a version of PaintShop Pro, though I am NOT invoking the GTK IDE under emacs but from a command line when I encounter this latter problem. Now this crash doesn't happen - I haven't even re-booted. The changes I'm making in my startup - most lately having to do with the path separator - must have been causing this. All in all, I suspect my problems have to do with my idiosyncratic configuration though it would be nice to be able to better diagnose where to look for the answers - but this is a very general problem, not J-specific. > bill lam <bbill....@gmail.com> wrote > please provide a simple example and detail steps to reproduce your problem. >???, 05 ??? 2010, Devon McCormick ?????(?): >> When creating a plot in J7, I get a "Pango-WARNING" telling me that it could >> not load a helvetica font and I should "expect ugly output". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
