When running imosflm under Mac OS Monterey, the program gives an X error: X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 45 (X_OpenFont) Value in failed request: 0x60005c Serial number of failed request: 1474 Current serial number in output stream: 1475
This is because of some incompatabiity in fonts between the version of Tcl used with imosflm and the Monterey operating system. To fix this error, edit the file imosflm.tcl in the directory similar to: /ccp4-7.1/share/ccp4i/imosflm/src Be sure to edit this file and not the one with the same name in the directory above. In lines 431 to 442 (this is in version 7.4.0, line numbers may differ in earlier versions but text will be the same), change all occurences of "helvetica" to "-adobe-helvetica". These lines are currently: font create font_l -family helvetica -size $normal_font_size -weight normal font create font_b -family helvetica -size $normal_font_size -weight bold font create font_i -family helvetica -size $small_font_size -weight normal -slant italic font create font_e -family courier -size $normal_font_size -weight normal font create font_s -family helvetica -size $small_font_size -weight normal font create font_t -family helvetica -size $tiny_font_size -weight normal font create font_tb -family helvetica -size $tiny_font_size -weight bold font create font_g -family symbol -size $normal_font_size -weight normal font create font_u -family helvetica -size $normal_font_size -weight normal -underline 1 font create subtitle_font -family helvetica -size $subtitle_font_size -weight bold font create title_font -family helvetica -size $title_font_size -weight bold font create huge_font -family helvetica -size $huge_font_size -weight bold I am indebted to David Aragao for providing this fix.
