I think it is since the XFree 4.3 update. But i have not used Xfig since about February. X Version: Gentoo Linux (XFree86 4.3.0, revision r2) Version of Xfig: current stable, 3.2.3d-r1 I tried to Update XFig to 3.2.4-r1 but the same error occurs. Error Message is: X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 45 (X_OpenFont) Value in failed request: 0x1c00011 Serial number of failed request: 66 Current serial number in output stream: 67
hmm, I just emerged it and it ran fine. Can you try to re-emerge it, please?
Remerged xfig. Did not change anything. When i connect to another machine with ssh and start xfig there to connect to this maschines x server the same error occurs. maybe its a problem between xfig and this xfree (4.3.0-r2) version.
Xfig runs fine inside xnest. The only noticable difference is that i have an english keyboard layout inside xnest, while i use a german layout normally.
do you use openmotif or lesstif? Whichever you use, can you please re-emerge it?
same issue as 16382. and I believe it is related to openmotif or lesstif needing to be recompiled against the newer xfree. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 16382 ***
I have recompiled openmotif and tried xfig egain. no change. next i unmerged openmotif and tried lesstif. again no change. Emerge tells that xfig does not depend on motif: emerge -pe xfig |grep tif [ebuild N ] media-libs/tiff-3.5.7-r1 The error message is the same as in BUG 16382. Maybe the problem behind 16282 is not motif either.
ok, separate issue from winex, sorry
Marco, What happens if you comment out these two lines? FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local/" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/"
Marco?
Sorry, had few time lately. I commented out the lines you suggested - now xfig runs. Thank you your help! Next i'll have to find out, which font causes the trouble.
The error was caused by a font named Morpheus.ttf
