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
