[PLUG] puzzling Motif(?) font(?) problem
|
Hello,
I'm experiencing what I believe are problems with Motif. The symptoms are
that certain apps no longer display any text--either on menus, widgets,
or within the body of the application. Some example apps are grok (from
xmbase-grok, a Motif front-end to a flat file database system), and
winsetup (from Win4Lin, the admin GUI to a commercial Windows-under-Linux
package).
All other GUI access and X applications seem fine. Other applications
that use Motif (for example xpdf, ddd) work fine. I can't trace the appearance
of the problem to a particular upgrade, but the applications used to work in
the past...
The affected apps seem to run fine--no core dumps, strace doesn't reveal
any problems, and there are no Xorg.0.log or .xsession-errors messages
that seem relevent. It's possible to run the apps, but it must be done
"blindly", ie., drop-down menus work, buttons work, etc., but there's
no text displayed.
I've tried forcibly installing lesstif-0.94.4-1.i586 over the motif
packages--the install works, but has no affect on the problem.
I've tried recompiling grok--the build goes fine, the executable runs, but the
symptoms are the same (no text, but it seems to run fine).
Any suggestions for a fix, or for how to debug this problem further?
I can provide strace output and screen shots (off the list), but the apps
appear to work--there is no core dump or exit with an error condition,
but the text is not visible.
Thanks,
Mark

(note: except for changes in the "Resource id" field, these messages
are the same when a well-behaving app, such as xpdf, is also closed
the same way, so I don't believe they are relevent)
