Eric,
I tried the diagnostic you reccomended, but was not able to get much in the
way of information, "xmonui | xmond" opened a window named xmonui. When I went on to
try inspect, it opened as it had before there was no apparent change in either the
xmonui window or the command line that I'd opened it from.
As a temporary fix I've done the following it's not pretty, but it does the job:
In ~/.vnc/xstartup I added the line:
$CMUCLLIB/motifd &
Then in cmucl I did the following,
(require :clm)
(setf toolkit::*default-server-host* "localhost")
(setf interface::ENTRY-FONT-NAME "fixed")
(setf interface::ITALIC-FONT-NAME "fixed")
(setf interface::HEADER-FONT-NAME "fixed")
(extensions:save-lisp "lisp.core")
then copied it to /usr/local/lib/cmucl/lib/lisp.core (after backing up the original)
Though the text that it puts out is blocky, at this point it suffices. Thank you for
the help on this.
