3279.0. "Problem loading fonts from fontserver" by UTRTSC::HELDEN (Trust me, I'll be back) Tue Apr 29 1997 12:14

Hi,

eXcursion 3.0
fontserver
Digital UNIX 4.0B

When in the eXcursion control panel the font path is set to a font server i.e.
tcp/<hostname>:7000 , eXcursion starts looping and takes 100% of the CPU.
Although I never had it to work I noticed some strange things.

When the FONT path is set to tcp/<hostname>:7000 and <hostname> does NOT exists
then eXcursion does not start looping but obvious this has no use.

When the PORT is set to a different number for example tcp/<hostname>:7001 
then eXcursion starts looping no matter what the <hostname> is. 

Is setting the font path to a UNIX fontserver supposed to work ??

Regards,
Mark van Helden
