Hi, We have a problem concerning the fonts when installing the Mathematica 3.0 version on a SUN-workstation and on HP-UNIX workstations. The SUN-workstation serves as the license server, also towards the HP-UNIX workstations. For that, it is necessary that some paths should be added to the font server. However the command 'xset' is unknown on the Sun 4.1.4 Workstation, and on the HP workstation, this command results in the following error: xset: bad font path element (#42), possible causes are: Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions Directory missing fonts.dir Incorrect font server address or syntax The solutions proposed in the FAQ on the Wolfram homepage didn't seem to work in our case. We would appreciate it very much if someone can propose other solutions. Please, send also a copy of your reply to schreurs at imec.be Thank you very much in advance, Dominique
