I am starting Cygwin/X via the startxdmcp.bat file with the command:
XWin -query %REMOTE_HOST% -nodecoration -lesspointer -fp
tcp/%REMOTE_HOST%:7000 -once -clipboard
going to HP-UX 11.11 with dtlogin. Everything seems fine
until I go to
launch various apps, at which point I get errors like:
Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
Warning: Cannot convert string -dt-interface
user-medium-r-normal-m*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* to type FontSet
Warning: Cannot convert string 6x13 to type FontStruct
These are only warnings, not errors.
Do the applications not work, or do they just not use the
fonts you are expecting?
They work but are sometimes difficult to use without the proper fonts
(plus many people complain about the messages).
Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion is a bit
of a poor message
as it doesn't say which charsets are missing, despite the
fact the bit of code
emitting it knows exactly :-(
This very likely is a locale issue, so can you say what the
setting of LANG in
both your cygwin environment and the HP-UX one is?
I had wondered if it was a locale issue and had checked that LANG was C
and even set LC_ALL to C as well, but only on the HP-UX side. I just
tried setting them in the startxdmcp.bat file as suggested, but it
didn't change anything.
So, I'm at a loss. The funny thing is that if I use an old (XFree86)
version of Cygwin/X, it works fine, without any font warnings.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated,
