Hello All,
I was trying to modify an existing font (8x13-ISO8859-1.pcf) on my suse 11.1 system with fontforge. After changing the names and the unique ID in the Element-Dialog and creating the .BDF file. I tried to make the font known to the system as follows:
mkfontdir ~/fonts
xset fp+ ~/fonts
cat fonts.dir now gives:
1
SentryFixedMedium-13.bdf -misc-sentryfixed-medium-r-normal--13-90-100-100-c-80-iso8859-1
But, when trying to use it, e.g. with xfontsel or xterm, they crash with:
X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 45 (X_OpenFont)
Serial number of failed request: 3964
Current serial number in output stream: 3965
One time it worked after I ran SuSeconfig and several reboots (don't know if this was really the cause). But now after the next modifications I am back to the above error message.
What can I do to diagnose the problem better, or get rid of it??
Regards,
Til
