Yes, that sounds like the same sort of problem. I get them instead of all
the characters in all the menus and buttons. Could you explain exactly what
you mean by running xfs for all your fonts? I had a look at the xfs
documentation and config file and as far as I can tell it is already running
and knows where all my fonts are.
Hi, Nathaniel:
Your system's Motif may in fact be LessTif. I've been having troubles
with that build lately, though Marco Trevisani has built and used it
(under Debian IIRC). I recommend the OpenMotif group's version instead
of Lessif.
Hi;
I had problem which sounds exactly like this-- little
dotted rectangles instead of characters-- in a few different
applications in certain places-- mostly gtk+ things-- it was rare
but puzzling. Eventually, I solved it by running the font server
xfs for all my fonts. In my case, I blame the xserver; I run a 3.3.6
server
with a 4.2.x environment (ie. everything is xfree 4.2.x except
the server.)
I think everything is 4.1.0 on mine.
I think your
second problem is due to an out-of-date Guile. Version
1.6.0 is now available (check Google for Guile) but I haven't heard yet
from anyone build Snd with it. I use version 1.5.6, I think that's now
available on the CCRMA ftp server.
There is a work around provided... load this before you
load the extentions:
(load-from-path "fix-optargs.scm") ; this is needed for guile < 1.5
This is working for me with guile 1.4, snd-6 and your
contrib stuff...
