Try Well, sort of, but we need to discuss this here as well. I have been telling people that the lib*.dll libraries for Cygwin/X would be going away for a few months now and apparently the emacs maintainer has not had a chance to recompile their package in 8 months. emacs really needs to get rebuilt since I will be pulling thos lib*.dll libraries from the distribution within the next week or so. On a side note, emacs must have been missing XFree86-lib-compat as dependency in setup.hint for about 8 months now; this would explain why this user does not have those libraries. Harold

If you rebuild libungif using --without-x, rebuild WindowMaker against that version of libungif, install both and test them to confirm that WindowMaker works, then I *might* think it is okay to use --without-x for libungif. This is simply following the rule of if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I often find out that lots of other people have plenty of arguments for leaving something alone when I cannot think of such an argument myself. Of course, I figure this out after the fact; in this case I am not interested in being unpleasantly surprised. But, again, is it so hard to make 2 packages, one with --without-x ? Have you done it? Yes, it is really hard. Think about 16 hours to work out all of the little kinks. Harold
Coreutils musings...
I tried compiling coreutils-5.2.0 and I didn't see many problems with that. Another problem I see is that coreutils will cause conflicts with other packages: textutils, sh-utils and fileutils. Obviously coreutils is intended to replace these packages so these packages would need to be withdrawn if coreutils was included with cygwin. I've tried to correlate all the binaries in textutils, sh-utils and fileutils with those in coreutils and here is what I found: /usr/bin/kill.exe from coreutils conflicts with cygwin-1.5.7-1. New binaries in coreutils are: /usr/bin/[.exe /usr/bin/link.exe /usr/bin/stat.exe /usr/bin/unlink.exe I appear to be missing su.exe from coreutils but that's because it didn't install for whatever reason. Other than that no binaries are missing from coreutils that are in sh-utils, textutils and fileutils If coreutils were to be packaged I would assume that 1) kill would not be included with coreutils so cygwin's kill would not get overwritten. 2) The binaries [.exe, link.exe, stat.exe and unlink.exe would be included with coreutils.

Solved: AltGr with Solaris 2.6
Hi! Finally I managed to figure out howto make the AltGr key work on my German keyboard under Solaris 2.6 and Cygwin XFree86 (tested with 4.3.0-51)! :-) The at '@' and pipe '|' and all other AltGr keys work for me, even the Euro-Sign if I use a iso-8859-15 font. Here is the howto: 1. Edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config You need to _uncomment_ the following line in section InputDevices: Option RightAlt ModeSwitch Restart your X-Server to apply the change. 2. Modify your keymap: I'm using the following .xmodmaprc below. Please have a look at the notes too! --cut-- ! ! Make AltGr work with Solaris 2.6 and Cygwin XFree86 ! !

Full screen, minus a bit, how?
Is it possible to get cygwin to start up in 'not quite full screen' mode? I use a multiple desktop system on my win2k machine and use cygwin/X to run my Linux desktop on one of the win2k desktops. However I keep the win2k taskbar visible (it has the multiple desktops in the taskbar) using a little utility called Shove-it. Thus when cygwin/X brings up the Linux system's desktop Shove-it pushes it down (I have my taskbar at the top) by the width of the taskbar. This works OK except that sometimes I get some odd effects when using the mouse near the bottom of the screen. Thus a way to get cygwin/X to bring up an xdmcp desktop in something like 1600x1160 mode would be very useful. -- Chris Green ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

Problem with xman
I'm running XWin -51 and the 20040306 snapshot. If I try xman then everything looks as though it's going to work beautifully (and it does, as far as file access etc goes) but a typical man page, when it appears, shows control instructions like this: 1mNAME0m diff - compare files line by line 1mSYNOPSIS0m 1mdiff 22m[4mOPTION24m] ... 4mFILES0m etc. Anybody else get this? Do I need to do something simple to correct this behaviour? Fergus

XWin Xserver maximum root area exceeded?
Hello, Thank you very much for your answer. I am sorry I think I left out too many details when describing my problem. The application I am running is proprietory but I do have the code and I actually changed the code to get as far as I am with this (it is a part of an Energy Management system and I am using its console interface code to display the status of of the high voltage grid on a display wall .. these are special pictures with symbols for generators/switches/lines etc). I do not think that my application cannot handle a root area of 12800x2048 (or 6400x2048 which is the minimum I need) but suspect that cygwin/X cannot. My reasoning for this is that the application runs without error with the X server WinaXe6.7 (for which I have a special version that can handle a 12800x2048 root area sent to me from LabF.com). The problem with WinaXe is that it uses a lot more CPU time than cygwin/X, when I compare them (using of course the root area in which both work). Because of this I would really like to use the cygwin X server but cannot, because of the problem I encountered. I will have a look at Xnest to see whether I get any further. I am using a Windows2000 workstation with special Display driver code (this is code from the company which also builds the projectors) and I am not really sure that Windows2000 knows that it has 20 monitors I tried the multimonitor option just in case it helps but it does not appear to. Any ideas? A friend recommended using xmon to find out more of what is happening. Do you have experience with xmon? What happened to the option emulatepseudo ? My X application uses Pseudo colours and in order to get the cgywin Xserver to work I had to set the number of colours to 256 for my display definition on the PC (very ugly when wanting to run other applications). Brigitte Hello, I am still struggling with this. Find attached the Xwin log file. I am using a root area of 6400x2048 I am getting this error in my X application: BadWindow (invalid Windowparameter) Mayor Op Code of failed request: 20(X_GetProperty) And the picture I want to display never comes up. It works with a smaller root area of 2560x2048 4 1280x1024 projectors arranged in 2 rows. Yes, it sounds like your remote application has a problem trying to draw to a window that is larger than a certain size. That is, it has not problem with 2560x2048, but it just won't work with widths greater than some amount. Assuming your application respects the standard -geometry WIDTHxHEIGHT+X_OFFSET+Y_OFFSET, then you should be able to run a test with your twenty monitors (or whatever the full number was) with a window size restricted like the following: my_app_name -geometry 2560x2048+0+0 If it runs, then try bumping the width value until you figure out that it has a problem; if it eventually has a problem, then you have found a bug or limitation in your application that will have to be fixed, there is nothing we can do to fix this for you. If your application does not run, then it is because it does not like the size of the root window being too large; this means that once you have a display area larger than a certain amount then the application will fail to run. You could always run it within an Xnest server that was restricted to a specified size, but this would not help you get it working on 20 monitors. I hope that helps. Is the application that you are using open source or closed source? If it is open source, then perhaps we could take a peek at it; if it is closed source there is nothing we can do. :) What does the multiplemonitors option do? It tells XWin.exe to use the space on all monitors instead of just on the primary monitor. In other words, without -multiplemonitors you can only display applications on the primary monitor.

XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-51 Performance Improvement
Takuma Murakami made an improvement to the multi-window code in the 4.3.0-51 release that restricts redraws to only the changed portions of windows. My earlier review of the original code made me believe that the code was redrawing the entire contents of each window, regardless of whether they had changed any or not, so I believe that Takuma's change is correct. In addition, I tested Takuma's change on a program that was notorious for exhibiting bad performance in multi-window mode: xfig. 4.3.0-50 requires 7 seconds to start xfig and there is lots of screen flashing during that startup process; other X Servers on Windows did not have this problem. 4.3.0-51 takes 2 seconds to start xfig and there is no longer any screen flashing. Takuma's changes are great! :) Harold

Re: XWin Xserver maximum root area exceeded?
Brigitte, Bonert Brigitte wrote: Hello, Thank you very much for your answer. I am sorry I think I left out too many details when describing my problem. The application I am running is proprietory but I do have the code and I actually changed the code to get as far as I am with this (it is a part of an Energy Management system and I am using its console interface code to display the status of of the high voltage grid on a display wall .. these are special pictures with symbols for generators/switches/lines etc). Okay. Do you run only this app by itself (or are other applications supposed to show on the display wall at the same time?). If it is the only application, then see what happens when you run XWin.exe like this: XWin -fullscreen -depth 8 That would allow you to leave Windows in 16, 24, or 32 bit color, while XWin would switch the display to 8 bit color when it received the focus. You would probably want to run a window manager such as 'twm' so you could move windows around. But just try running your application first to see what happens. I do not think that my application cannot handle a root area of 12800x2048 (or 6400x2048 which is the minimum I need) but suspect that cygwin/X cannot. My reasoning for this is that the application runs without error with the X server WinaXe6.7 (for which I have a special version that can handle a 12800x2048 root area sent to me from LabF.com). The problem with WinaXe is that it uses a lot more CPU time than cygwin/X, when I compare them (using of course the root area in which both work). Because of this I would really like to use the cygwin X server but cannot, because of the problem I encountered. Hmm... we seem to be missing the answer to one question: does any app work in Cygwin/X at 12800x2048? In other words, can you run an 'xterm', drag it to one monitor at a time, and verify that it operates correctly when you type in and run a command like 'ls'? If yes: Cygwin/X is working just fine in 12800x2048 mode. As I previously requested, try sending your application the -geometry parameter to restrict its size when Cygwin/X is running in 12800x2048. It will be useful to know if your application still fails to run in this case (e.g. -gemotry 6400x2048+0+0). If no: What happens? Please be precise in your description. If Cygwin/X fails to start in this configuration, then send in /tmp/XWin.log from an instance when this happens. A failure to start could probably be fixed, but any other sort of failure (like one or two of the monitors not drawing the xterm correctly) might be harder to fix. I'll need to know this information in order to diagnose the problem further. I am using a Windows2000 workstation with special Display driver code (this is code from the company which also builds the projectors) and I am not really sure that Windows2000 knows that it has 20 monitors I tried the multimonitor option just in case it helps but it does not appear to. That is fine... it even eliminates some possible failures. A friend recommended using xmon to find out more of what is happening. Do you have experience with xmon? No, I do not know what it is. What happened to the option emulatepseudo ? My X application uses Pseudo colours and in order to get the cgywin Xserver to work I had to set the number of colours to 256 for my display definition on the PC (very ugly when wanting to run other applications). -emulatepseudo did not do anything useful. It was a placeholder for a feature I was working on. Somebody has told me they are working on proper PseudoColor emulation that will work on all platforms, but they haven't finished it yet in the past two months. I don't have an ETA for this either.

Re: XWin Architecture
Jeremy, Jeremy Wilkins wrote: Hi, I'm curious about how the cygwin XWin server works? Curious, or interested in helping? If just curious, then please wait a few days or dig through the archives... I have described it in detail a few times. Perhaps the following answers will be all you need. My understanding is it is similar to an X Server on linux but instead of rendering to the graphics card framebuffer, it is rendered to an offscreen surface and then bitblt'd to an on screen pixmap using direct draw, or GDI if dd is unavailable. That is correct. Does the MacOS X Xserver work in the same way? Yes. Does this use a lot of existing code, eg from either vnc or xvfb servers? Yes, but not from vnc or xvfb. There is a generic layer written by Keith Packard called fb that draws to framebuffers using the cpu. This fb layer replaced the old cfb and mfb layers that did the same thing but were crufty and designed for the cpu being the constraint (think 1980's) rather than the buses to and from memory and other peripherals being the constraint (think today). How does the rootless stuff work, does this just figure out where the top level windows are and only bitblt those but into separate surfaces/windows. Well, that is sort of a dangerous question. There is the original rootless mode that Kensuke wrote a while back. That mode just keeps track of the top-level X11 windows and clips transfers to our single Win32 window to the region that is occupied by X11 windows, thus preventing the root window from being drawn. You will note that all of the X11 windows appear to float in the same plane when you use -rootless in the current versions of XWin.exe. There is also multi-window, but that is a little more complex in that it has an internal window manager and it creates a Win32 window for each top-level X11 window and provides management of those windows. This one does bitblt to particular Win32 windows, whereas the aforementioned rootless mode only had a single Win32 window. I've read somewhere that there is some generic rootless code in the xc tree, where abouts is this? That is in xc/programs/Xserver/miext/rootless. Kensuke's latest work has centered around getting this to work. He has a new window manager written that is more complete than the current multi-window window manager. However, there are still significant bugs in this implementation and we are not even building releases from the source tree with that code in it yet. Torrey Lyons just sent me a draft description of how miext/rootless works. Hopefully he will finish it soon so I can point you to it. It really is an interesting layer and it allows optimization of some simple cases that will have quite a large performance impact. Harold
Default Xserver Resolution
Is there a way to force the Xserver to start with 100dpi X 100dpi resolution?

You need to use the -dpi 100 option for XWin.exe. I would suggest doing that first from a Cygwin bash shell to try it, then edit your startup script to add the option permanently.

SNDCTL_DSP_CHANNELS ioctl not implemented
Hello. I compiled a program intended for Unix on Cygwin. It has a slight problem: sound does not work because the program tries to call the SNDCTL_DSP_CHANNELS ioctl on /dev/dsp, and it fails. Looking at the source code, that ioctl is not implemented in fhandler_dsp.cc, although it is defined in the header file. fhandler_dsp.cc implements a similar ioctl, SNDCTL_DSP_STEREO, which takes the arguments, increments it by 1 and sets the variable audiochannels_ to the result. Maybe SNDCTL_DSP_CHANNELS would be identical, just without the increbent by 1, but I am no expert so I cannot be sure. Is it possible to implement SNDCTL_DSP_CHANNELS in future versions of Cygwin? __ Tiscali ADSL SENZA CANONE: Attivazione GRATIS, contributo adesione GRATIS, modem GRATIS, 50 ore di navigazione GRATIS.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] New package: TeXmacs-1.0.3.3-1: A scientific wysiwyg Editor and Interface for Computer Algebra Systems
The package TeXmacs is now available with the Cygwin distribution. Canonical homepage: http://texmacs.org Canonical download: ftp://ftp.texmacs.org/pub/TeXmacs/targz/ DESCRIPTION: GNU TeXmacs is a free scientific text editor, which was both inspired by TeX and GNU Emacs. The editor allows you to write structured documents via a wysiwyg (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) and user friendly interface. New styles may be created by the user. The program implements high-quality typesetting algorithms and TeX fonts, which help you to produce professionally looking documents. The high typesetting quality still goes through for automatically generated formulas, which makes TeXmacs suitable as an interface for computer algebra systems. TeXmacs also supports the Guile/Scheme extension language, so that you may customize the interface and write your own extensions to the editor. Converters exist for TeX/LaTeX and Html/MathML/Xml. In the future, TeXmacs is planned to evolve towards a complete scientific office suite. GETTING STARTED QUICKLY: 1. Install TeXmacs -- To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Once you've downloaded setup.exe, run it and select Editors or Math and then click on the appropriate fields until the above announced version number appears if it is not displayed already. 2. Start and test your X Double click on the Cygwin icon on your Desktop, this brings up a black Cygwin shell. Type: export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 XWin -multiwindow -clipboard xterm In the tray in the lower right corner of your screen you will see a black X and an additional (white) window should appear. In order not to set the DISPLAY variable again and again, you should set it as a user's variable; e.g. under Windows XP: Start-Control_Panel-System-Advanced-Environment_variables 3. Start TeXmacs ... by typing texmacs into a Cygwin shell. Try a second time, if there is a problem. 4. Hands-on tutorial I suggest to try Part 1-3 of the following hands-on tutorial: http://www.fmi.uni-passau.de/~seidl/texmacs/tmtour.html#3 FURTHER INFORMATION: If you have TeXmacs-related questions or comments, please send them to the texmac-users mailing list, see: http://lists.texmacs.org/wws/info/texmacs-users (subscription necessary). I would appreciate it if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly.

cygwin1.dll page fault Win95
Hi, I'm running cygwin on a Win95 machine and have a problem that I often get the windows error box up saying the program caused an invalid page fault in cygwin1.dll, its always at the same address and occurs for a range of programs, when wish closes, when xwin runs ... It is solved by downgrading to cygwin 1.5.5-1 rather than the latest 1.5.7-1. It doesn't stop me running things, I just ignore the error boxes and things seem to run OK, I then click close program from the error box when I close the program. There may be some bright ideas to try so my post is for anyone to send me fault finding ideas, the fault doesn't bother me particularly but it probably should be fixed (unless of course it is me being stupid!)! Although no great programmer I am experienced with windows and linux. Regards Alistair Bell WISH84 caused an invalid page fault in module CYGWIN1.DLL at 014f:6108620d.

RE: emacs / libICE.dll
Dear Oodini/Cygwin: I've just installed Cygwin on Windows 2000 to learn Unix stuff, and I don't succeed to run emacs. FWIW, I encountered this as well. I'm trying to get a handle on another problem, and as one attempt I tried a fresh (zap all Cygwin registry entries, rename my Cygwin directory and packages repository), minimal (base plus emacs and enough X to support it) install. emacs failed to start, giving a Windows dialog box with the same complaint about libICE's unavailability. The paths looked OK, and after a bit of thrashing around I went back to the old installation. I'll repeat the minimalist effort if there's any additional information you'd like to hear about, like the cygcheck output therefrom. -- Best wishes, Max Hyre -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

dvips failing to include cmdunh10 font definition
I believe I have found a problem with dvips. If I run LaTeX against the
following file:
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\font\anewfont=cmdunh10
\begin{document}
This is in the normal Computer Modern font.
{\anewfont This is in the vertically expanded Computer Modern font.
It looks fine in the DVI viewer.}
However, when using:
\begin{quote}
\texttt{dvips(k) 5.92b Copyright 2002 Radical Eye Software
(www.radicaleye.com)}
\end{quote}
it gets replaced with a fixed-width font, but using the correct letter
spacings. This means that it looks {\anewfont very odd indeed}.
\end{document}
I get a DVI file which looks just fine, and displays just fine using
MiKTeX's Yap viewer. Furthermore, when I run dvips from the MiKTeX
distribution on it, it produces a PostScript file which looks fine.
However, when I run dvips from the teTeX package in Cygwin on the same
DVI file, the resultant PostScript file displays and prints wrongly,
with the wrong font used for the bit which should be cmdunh10. Looking at
the PostScript messages produced in GSview, it seems to be substituting
Courier, as CMDUNH10 isn't defined. Examining the PostScript file, there
seems to be no definition of the cmdunh10 font, although it looks as if
dvips is trying to include one. The file contains the following extract:
.
.
.
cleartomark
%%EndFont
%%BeginFont: CMDUNH10
%%EndFont
%%BeginFont: CMR10
%!PS-AdobeFont-1.1: CMR10 1.00B
%%CreationDate: 1992 Feb 19 19:54:52
.
.
.
So the cmdunh10 definition is just not there. Is anyone able to reproduce
this problem?

tetex (latex) permission problem on NT
Dear All,
I could not find any reference to this anywhere, so
FYI or maybe for the FAQ:
Running Cygwin 1.5.7-1 on XP professional, any attempt
to run latex produced an immediate permission error on
texmf.cnf ('cannot access', if I recall well). I
noticed that some of the files in the texmf subdir
have a 'group' property of Users, other of 'None'
(which is everyone, afaik).
I logged in to XP as Admin and recursively allowed
Users access to files/directories under texmf. This
solved the problem.
I think my problem was related to the fact that my
login is domain controlled (ie not local to the
machine). This renders me a member of the group Users,
who don't have access to all files in the texmf
directory.
I am not exactly an expert on the confusing topic of
NT vs unix vs cygwin permissions, so correct me if
what I did is overkill.
CHeers,
Dirk

Backend doesn't catch the next command, after SIGUSR2
If I run a test script enough time, it eventually freezes in this deadlock situation: The client sends a command to a backend and waits for an answer. It will wait forever because the backend is not aware of the arrival of the request and waits for a next command. What happens in the loop is: SIInsertDataEntry: table is 70% full, signaling postmaster In reaction, the postmaster sends to its children: SignalChildren: sending signal 31 to process pid Most of the time, it works. But at an unpredictable iteration, it freezes. This problem appeared first in a replication machinery, so I reduced the number of components involved, to get a simpler test case: A pgtcl script, running a loop with: create table from another-table copy table to file drop table The 'create table' regularly fires the '70% full' event, and at some point, the 'copy' never gets answered. I attached these files: - test.tcl: the script to run. Change these values to meet your context: set srctable pgr_qryengine_log set dbname euronetUsers The source table can be anything empty. In my case, it's: CREATE TABLE public.pgr_qryengine_log ( pgr_sid int4 NOT NULL, tablename varchar(50), pgr_gfid int8 NOT NULL, pgr_grid int8 NOT NULL, pgr_optype varchar(2), pgr_when timestamp, pgr_username varchar(30), qry_result text ) WITH OIDS; - postmaster-ok.log The traces of a successful iteration. - postmaster-ko.log The traces of the forever waiting iteration. EOF is received on a ctrl/c on the client side. Comparison of the traces shows that the signals are processed, but the backend doesn't start a StartTransactionCommand for the expected 'copy'. I don't know the exact conditions for the freeze to arise. I just noticed that chances are higher if there is a lot of postgres.exe processes alive. I could run 1 runs without any extra backends. So I opened a pgAdmin III session to have many connexions (on multiple db, with different accounts). With 7 to 10 processes, I reached the freeze at 3392, 2027, 6729, 272, 1871 runs. I tried to strace the postmaster, but never managed to have the problem. I guess strace slow down the system too much. I just have a strace of a correct iteration. Done on: - postgres 7.3.5, W2000 SP2, cygwin 1.5.5-1 - postgres 7.3.5, NT SP6, cygwin 1.5.7-1 I can't tell if the source of the problem is in cygwin or in postgres, so I post in the two lists.

Malloc hang
I am executing a program this parses xml files using libxml2. It only hangs with one of my xml files works fine with others.. I have used gdb to find the specific library call to malloc that is hanging. It is hard for me to debug the problem any more because after this malloc call is mad the program hangs and doesn't return to the next line of code or print anymore debugging information. I have tried changing cygwin max memory to see if I have run out of memory but this does not help. Although I am not sure if this will help I have tried to make cygwin files with debugging enabled but get errors in the compile process. ? I know this is not enough info to give me an answer but if you could please point me in the right direction.

RE: Malloc hang
Snapshots do not have debugging enabled. I was suggesting it because the current snapshots are close to the next version to be released and it makes sense to see if your problem is resolved there or not. If you still see a problem, then the next step would be to build a debug version of the cygwin DLL.

using shared libraries w/o cygwin
Hi. I've got a port of objcopy that I'd like to run on Windows systems. I'd rather not have to install cygwin on the machine that I'm going to be running this tool on. The problem I'm having is that whenever I run my program on a file, it appears to have a STACK_VIOLATION on a call to malloc. It works just fine under Linux, under cygwin, and can print the usage statement and things like that under DOS, but crashes in DOS whenever I actually pass it a data file. So far, the only explanation I can come up with is that there's some sort of failure during the dynamic libraries. Is there any way I can setup a DOS environment to make it run? I tried statically linking in bfd, but that didn't seem to the problem either. Could this be caused by something else?

The 'objcopy' that comes with the 'binutils' package works fine when invoked directly from a DOS prompt (outside of a Cygwin shell). Of course, that one comes with Cygwin and links to cygwin1.dll. If you don't want to have to install Cygwin or manage a local copy of cygwin1.dll on your target systems, then this isn't an option for you. However, if you're using a custom built version of 'objcopy' that doesn't use cygwin1.dll, then the question is really off-topic for this list. You'll need to debug the problem yourself.

Do you happen to know of a Free screen reader that we might use? (I'm not promising patches to enable this, but it would at least raise the possibility.) As for installing everything, you might be able to use setup.exe's command line options. I don't think there's an install everything option, so I put up a fake Base package that requires all the other packages (warning: this may break something). So this may work from a command prompt if setup.exe understands multiple -s arguments: setup.exe -q -s some-mirror -s http://ns1.iocc.com/~joshua/cygwin/all If not, you'll need to run setup.exe through once, clicking next each time, to install a minimal installation, and then edit the /etc/setup/last-mirror file to include http://ns1.iocc.com/~joshua/cygwin/all It must have a real mirror also since my site does not have any real packages, just the fake all one. Of course, since you read the User's Guide you know that this is downloading several hundreds of megabytes of software, right? (Are we up to gigabytes yet?

If you have those (you should, as they are in the base package), your

may be corrupt (and my wizardry ends).
I would try the following things in this order:
1) Re-run texconfig
2) Re-install tetex-base and re-run texconfig
3) Take a deep breath, try to understand kpsearch and act accordingly :-)

It looks as if it's not finding any of the font definitions. Perhaps
