<excerpt>If you don't have an X11r5 server (you don't if you are running the p=
roduct AIX server), make sure you install .snf rather than .pcf fonts.  To get=
 .snf fonts, simply put a #undef FONTS_TO_PCF_ENV in your site.h.  Until you g=

<excerpt>Does xset q show that /usr/andrew/X11fonts is on your font path?  If =
not, the X server doesn't like your new fonts.  Does a fonts.dir file exist in=
 the font directory?  If not, you probably forgot to build the xmkfontd direct=
ory.<nl>

Thanks for your answers. In the meantime, i have really been frustrated by usi=
ng the IBM Product Server (X11R4 based) too much and have switched without pro=
blems to R5. I rebuilded Andrew entirely (make World) and don't had any more p=
roblems with Andrew so far. So i can't tell if your suggesting will help or no=
t, sorry.<nl>

One thing i noticed with ATK 5.1 under AIX 3.2 is that without ANDREW_MALLOC_E=
NV defined any program with the menu point "Delete window" would crash by usin=
g it. I have built with ANDREW_MALLOC_ENV and DEBUG_MALLOC (or something simil=
ar, i can't remember ...) and so far i have not seen problems. <nl>
And, yes, i had to make some minor changes to some .c files which included<nl>=

<lt>errno.h> and then<nl>
<lt>andrewos.h> to swap the two lines to make them read<nl>
<nl>
<lt>andrewos.h><nl>
<lt>error.h><nl>
so that they got compiled. Funny, but it worked.<nl>
