Summary: Filter error in Open File menu
Initial Comment:
Any attempt opening/including a file using File:Open or File:
Include File fails on Mac OS X. The parent xterm shows the
following error messages:
Name: FilterText
Class: XmTextField
Character '\57' not supported in font. Discarded.
Name: Text
Class: XmTextField
Character '\57' not supported in font. Discarded.
Name: FilterText
Class: XmTextField
Character '\57' not supported in font. Discarded.
Name: Text
Class: XmTextField
Character '\57' not supported in font. Discarded.
Name: FilterText
Class: XmTextField
Character '\57' not supported in font. Discarded.
Name: Text
Class: XmTextField
Character '\57' not supported in font. Discarded.
and the filter string has no starting / which seems to be the reason
for the problem. Also any attempt to change directory using the
directory list duplicates the filter string. Example:
Action Filter string
File:Open Users/piskunov/RT_3D/*
click on .. Users/piskunov/Users/piskunov/RT_3D/*
etc.

This issue still exists for MacOS X 10.6 and nedit installed from MacPorts
(at least).
I found a work-around that may help someone smarter than me figure out why
this isn't working. This involves two steps: change the character encoding
for the MacOS Terminal window to something nedit can handle and change the
default text font in nedit to something compatible with the system.
1) Bring up a MacOS X Terminal window. Then go to the "Terminal" menu a
the top of the screen and choose Preferences... Click on the “Settings”
tab and then pick “Western (ISO Latin 1)” from the Character encoding
menu (this is the ISO8859-1 encoding). Close the Preferences window. You
may have to create a new terminal window for the changes to take place, I'm
not sure. I did.
2) This step may not be necessary, I did this first and then did step #1
when this didn't solve the problem. Edit the ~/.nedit/nedit.rc file using
vi or something and change the nedit.textFont properties as follows:
nedit.textFont:
-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-1
nedit.boldHighlightFont:
-adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-1
nedit.italicHighlightFont:
-adobe-courier-medium-o-normal--12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-1
nedit.boldItalicHighlightFont:
-adobe-courier-bold-o-normal--12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-1
You can also change this font from inside nedit in it's Text Font
Preference (make sure to Save Defaults when you are done setting it!).
This seems to have solved this problem for me.

Dear n8gray,
As in the example I attached, my current directory was
/Users/piskunov/RT_3D and tried to get one level up by selecting ..
No special characters were involved at any stage. Even if I try to
select a file from a current directory, it fails as the the leading
slash is missing. I did a bit of tracking: the problem seems to be
connected to the interface with MOTIF library (this where the error
message comes from). What really puzzles me is that it complains about
\57 which is "/".

Thanks for the report. I've never seen this problem but I'm an American
English user so I know
very little about character set issues. I would try experimenting with
changing the LOCALE env. var. to see if that is the problem. Also, does
the directory you're trying to change to (or one in the filter path) have
non-ascii characters? Does it work if there are no non-ascii characters
involved?
