Trying to rehash the font path results in the following error: -- snip -- % (DISPLAY=:35 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PWD/../../exports/lib/ ./xset fp rehash) X Error of failed request: BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error) Major opcode of failed request: 51 (X_SetFontPath) Serial number of failed request: 7 Current serial number in output stream: 9 -- snip -- Somehow this doesn't look good... ;-( Did anyone checkin anything related to font path handling into Xorg trunk recently ? Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys. Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future. Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings, removing from list! Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/kwintv, removing from list! Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local, removing from list! most likely it's correct. check the easy things first. as user, can you cd to ? are they set to right permission ? any softlinks ? what distro are you running ? debian, bsd, gentoo ? is that a font manager controlling your fonts? or are you relying on XPrint to do everything ? assuming you didn't buy adobe fonts. did you run a font manager to manage the fonts (ie, emkfontdir or mkfontdir, fc-cache). defoma? do i see the print server seems to add and remove fonts available over the internet on the fly ? did you firewall your X priint and X font servers so your not getting fonts / requests from all over the internet ? |

2005-01-10-trunk, I am getting weired output (well, the word "scary" may fit better here) in the font path line of the "xset q" output when the Xserver drops (invalid) font path elements: -- snip -- xc/programs/xset% (DISPLAY=:35 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PWD/../../exports/lib/ ./xset q) Keyboard Control: auto repeat: on key click percent: 0 LED mask: 00000000 Xlib: extension "XFree86-Misc" missing on display ":35.0". auto repeating keys: 00ffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff ff00000000000000 0000000000000000 bell percent: 50 bell pitch: 400 bell duration: 100 Pointer Control: acceleration: 2/1 threshold: 4 Screen Saver: prefer blanking: yes allow exposures: yes timeout: 0 cycle: 600 Colors: default colormap: 0x20 BlackPixel: 1 WhitePixel: 0 Font Path: PRINTER:/home/gismobile/projects/xorg/xprint_pkgtest/xprint_pkgtest20050110/bintarball_unpack/xprint/install/etc/X11/xserver/en_US/print//models/PS2PDFspooldir-GS//fonts/£PRINTER:/home/gismobile/projects/xorg/xprint_pkgtest/xprint_pkgtest20050110/bintarball_unpack/xprint/install/etc/X11/xserver/en_US/print//models/PSspooldir//fonts/¢PRINTER:/home/gismobile/projects/xorg/xprint_pkgtest/xprint_pkgtest20050110/bintarball_unpack/xprint/install/etc/X11/xserver/en_US/print//models/PSdefault//fonts//usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1%/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/hellas/Type1%/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/latin2/Type1!/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/URW /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/baekmuk!/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic&/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/hellas/100dpi%/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/hellas/75dpi$/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/hellas/misc!/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/japanese$/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/latin2/misc&/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/latin5/100dpi%/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/latin5/75dpi$/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/latin5/misc%/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/latin7/75dpi/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc!/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/sgi/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/uni,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Bug Mode: compatibility mode is disabled DPMS (Energy Star): Server does not have the DPMS Extension -- snip -- A quick look at the process table output (% ps -ef #) shows that the Xserver was started with a valid font path: -- snip -- ps -ef | fgrep Xprt % gismobi 27212 27211 0 01:45 pts/11 00:00:01 /home/gismobile/projects/xorg/xprint_pkgtest/xprint_pkgtest20050110/bintarball_unpack/xprint/install/usr/X11R6/bin/Xprt -ac -pn -nolisten tcp -audit 4 -fp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/hellas/Type1,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/latin2/Type1,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/URW,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/baekmuk,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/hellas/100dpi,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/hellas/75dpi,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/hellas/misc,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/japanese,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/kwintv,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/latin2/misc,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/latin5/100dpi,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/latin5/75dpi,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/latin5/misc,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/latin7/75dpi,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/sgi,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/uni :35 -- snip -- Steps to reproduce (I am using here a xprint test branch to make the testing less compliciated - but the same can be reproduced in Xorg trunk, too): 1. Pull source from CVS: % export CVSROOT=:ext:foobar@cvs.freedesktop.org:/cvs/xorg % export CVS_RSH=ssh % cvs -z8 checkout -r xprint_packagertest_20041217 xc 2. Build it: % cd xc/ % time nice -n 14 make World 2>&1 | tee -a buildlog.log 3. Build binary tarball: % cd packager/tarball/ % make make_xprint_tarball % cd .. % mkdir bintarball_unpack % cd bintarball_unpack/ 4. Fetch and unpack generated binary tarball from /tmp : % mv /tmp/xprint_server_050111013442.tar.gz . % gunzip -c xprint_server_050111013442.tar.gz | tar -xf - 5. Start Xprt server: % cd xprint/ % ./run_xprint_from_tarball.sh start 6. Query the list of Xprint servers and tell "xset" to display the font path of the first entry (display=:35): % ./run_xprint_from_tarball.sh get_xpserverlist % (DISPLAY=:35 xset q) Result: Weired font path listing. Expected result: Correct font path listing It may be possible (or not) that this issue is related to the detail that the Xserver drops some font path elements at startup. At startup the Xserver prints the following warnings: -- snip -- Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings, removing from list! Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/kwintv, removing from list! Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local, removing from list! -- snip -- Does anyone (Egbert, Alan, Stuart, Jay etc.) have a clue what may be going wrong here ?
