Hello all,
I've installed Mathematica 3.0 on our machines under HP/UX 10.20. Mathematica
is running remotely on a PC (MS-Windows 3.11) using a X-server (pcxware). As
described in mathematicas System Administrators Guide I transferred the fonts
included with Mathematica to the X-servers local directories. Only the fonts
from /usr/local/mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/X are recognized from the
X-server runnning on the PC (not Type1).
If Mathematica is invoked remotely it starts up with the following message:
The stretchable character 0x5f in the Math1Mono font (size 12) has a repeating
piece (0x8f) that is zero size.
Q: What does this message mean ?
Q: How to correct our Mathematica Installation to let this message disappear ?
The fonts in the directory /usr/local/mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/Type1 are
not accepted: Neither from the PC-Xserver nor from the workstation X-server (I
tried to add this directory to the fontpath via xset fp+, but is always denied
from the workstation X-server with "bad font path...". Also shortening the
fontpath doesn't change anything although the Type directory contains an
fonts.dir file.
Q: How to include the type1-mathematica-fonts to the list of fonts known by
the workstation X-server ?
Another question:
Q: Some AltGr combinations of our PC-Keyboards don't seem to work , esp. those
to produce:
@, |, {}, []
The same Alt Gr combination work if typed from our workstation keyboard.
Q: How to correct this ?
Questions, questions, questions...
I do hope there are some answers?
Thank you in advance
