Do you get these messages? Yes, I had the same problems. I performed a dir decw$terminal:menu*.pcf on VMS and found several files: Directory SYS$COMMON:[SYSFONT.DECW.100DPI] MENU10_100DPI.PCF;1 MENU12_100DPI.PCF;1 Total of 2 files. Directory SYS$COMMON:[SYSFONT.DECW.75DPI] MENU10.PCF;1 MENU12.PCF;1 Total of 2 files. Directory SYS$COMMON:[SYSFONT.DECW.EURO_100DPI] MENU10_100DPI.PCF;1 MENU12_100DPI.PCF;1 Total of 2 files. Directory SYS$COMMON:[SYSFONT.DECW.EURO_75DPI] MENU10.PCF;1 MENU12.PCF;1 Total of 2 files. Grand total of 4 directories, 8 files. Do you have these? After I found these, I ftp'd them to /usr/local/font then I did: $ xset fp- /usr/local/font $ mkfontdir /usr/local/font $ xset fp+ /usr/local/font and tried MCR DECW$CLOCK again. I no longer got the messages but I still see the dotted square. BTW, you might want to hold off on the "enhancement" to .xmodmap-vms that I posted. It caused unexpected problems when I did added this. Bruce
Think I found out why the fonts I copied didn't work. They're not pcf fonts. Mine look like this:
-rw-r--r-- 1 u752359 mkgroup 4117 Jan 23 13:58 COURIER10_100DPI.DECW$FONT
-rw-r--r-- 1 u752359 mkgroup 4370 Jan 23 13:58 COURIER12_100DPI.DECW$FONT
-rw-r--r-- 1 u752359 mkgroup 4786 Jan 23 13:58 COURIER14_100DPI.DECW$FONT
-rw-r--r-- 1 u752359 mkgroup 6227 Jan 23 13:58 COURIER18_100DPI.DECW$FONT
-rw-r--r-- 1 u752359 mkgroup 8906 Jan 23 13:58 COURIER24_100DPI.DECW$FONT
-rw-r--r-- 1 u752359 mkgroup 3435 Jan 23 13:58 COURIER8_100DPI.DECW$FONT
I did a search on VMS from root (I think it was root) on the pcf files but it didn't come up with anything:
ISIS-WORK>DIRECTORY [...]*.pcf
%DIRECT-W-NOFILES, no files found
ISIS-WORK>DIRECTORY [...]*.snf
%DIRECT-W-NOFILES, no files found
ISIS-WORK>DIRECTORY [...]*.bdf
%DIRECT-W-NOFILES, no files found
ISIS-WORK>sho def
$1$DIA2:[000000]
That's all I was able to do though. If I issue the command you used above I get an error:
ISIS-WORK>dir decw$terminal:menu*.pcf
%DIRECT-E-OPENIN, error opening DECW$TERMINAL:[000000]MENU*.PCF;* as input
-RMS-F-DEV, error in device name or inappropriate device type for operation
ISIS-WORK>
Thanks for your help Bruce.
JS.
