Thanks for the reply. The machine I'm connecting to is running HP-UX and yes, CDE. wrt the font server. Is it a matter of me running a font server on my local machine or having a font server running on the machine I'm trying to connect to? If they're not running a font server and I'm able to get them to run one, does the configuration on my local box have to change?David Calkins wrote: > > I'm trying to connect up to a machine at work using XDMCP.

Is it running a CDE environment ? I've seen this happen for CDE when not all the needed fonts are available for the CDE session. Contact your system adminstrator to see if they have a font server running in your company. Staf.
