Re: Using a Linux x.org X server for a HP 16500B Logic analyzer

Hello,
I'm trying to use my Linux computer with x.org 6.9 as an X server
and the 16500B as an X client. I used the command `xhost +` in linux to
allow all incomming connections to the X server. The 16500B manages to
connect and throw something on the display and I am able to control it
from my Linux laptop, for the most part. However, when it connects, I
get this warning on the 16500B's display: "Warning: 16500 fonts not
loaded on 10.0.1.5:0.0"

Whenever I try to go to a menu that brings up the virtual keyoard or
numpad, I get this error on the 16500B in red, and the 16500B locks up:

X Error: BadFont
Request Major code 56 ( )
ResourceID 0x500
Error Serial #2419
Current Serial #2481

So, there seems to be some font related issues. Does anyone know how to
fix it? Is there a way to install these 16500 fonts on the Linux X
server? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Harout S. Hedeshian

This is what you are looking for:


This file contains instructions for loading the 16500B fonts onto a
HP-UX or other unix(r) workstation. The same fonts can be used with
X server packages on PC's. However, the method for installing the fonts
on different PC X servers will vary by the vendor, so check with your
X documentation for details and instructions.


TO LOAD THE FONTS FOR USE ON A UNIX SYSTEM:

1. Move the files lg165.bdf and sm165.bdf from their location on the
16500B hard disk (in directory /system) to a desired directory
on your Unix system.
2. Cd to that directory, and do a "mkfontdir" command.
3. Type "xset +fp <dir>", where <dir> is the full path of your font dir.
4. Type "xset fp rehash".


That's all there is to it. Steps (3) and (4) will need to be repeated
each time that X11 is restarted. To overcome this, simply install the
fonts as directed in your X11 font directory, typically found in:

/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc

This directory is usually protected so this will require action from
your system administrator.
