Hello Dave! that is what I do in fact.
you can look here http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/nebula-irc/nebula/help.c?rev=1.9&view=markup the macro is defined in main.h to one "of those functions". #ifdef HAVE_XMSTRINGGENERATE #define XM_STRING_GEN_COMP(str)\ XmStringGenerate(theString, XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG, XmCHARSET_TEXT, NULL); #else #define XM_STRING_GEN_COMP(str)\ XmStringCreateLtoR(str, XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG); #endif depending if we have motif 2 or motif 1.x In fact it works under regular motif fine (checked on AIX, IRIX, Solaris) and on OpenMotif. So this led me already think it was a lesstif bug. When I saw that AxyFtp under lesstif behaves the same... I thought to report this. As other people reported me the same problems on their boxes I am quite sure it is not a specific problem of mine. -R On Thu, 18 Nov 2004 08:56:59 -0600, Dave Williss <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've seen that with regular Motif too.
