Hi folks. I don't know whether this is a common problem still, but I didn't find anything much of use on the interweb.
We were suffering from the /usr/dt/bin/dthello: display unix:3.0 doesn't know font fixed error while trying to use VNC with CDE on Solaris 5.8 after a rebuild. Happily, we'd just had another machine rebuilt to the same specification which *wasn't* exhibiting this problem, so it was a fairly simple task to track down the difference: locale. On the machine that worked, we were using locale en_GB.ISO8859-1 and on the one that didn't work, it was en_GB.ISO8859-15. Trivial to export the locale: LANG=en_GB.ISO8859-1 LC_CTYPE=en_GB.ISO8859-1 LC_NUMERIC=en_GB.ISO8859-1 LC_TIME=en_GB.ISO8859-1 LC_COLLATE=en_GB.ISO8859-1 LC_MONETARY=en_GB.ISO8859-1 LC_MESSAGES=C LC_ALL= We'd thought it might be related to the working machine having a graphics card, and the other one being a TTY-head server, but nothing that complex. Still don't really know where it gets the 'fixed' font string from, but eh, I have a fix. Cheers, Tim Baverstock. _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [email protected] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
