An update. (for those who missed the earlier discussion, lyx-1.0.0 running on Sparc-Solaris-2.6 dumps core on startup when the display is on a MicroImages X-server on my laptop running NT-4.0). If I start `lyx -dbg 515', the last messages are Initializing LyXView...done BufferView::redraw() LyX displays, complete with the logo, then crashes with BadFont (invalid Font parameter) Abort (core dumped) The gdb backtrace is (gdb) backtrace #0 0xef4c800c in _kill () #1 0xef47a4e8 in abort () #2 0x450f8 in LyX_XErrHandler (display=0x26f4b0, xeev=0xefffef88) at lyx_gui.C:165 #3 0xef6203bc in _XError () #4 0xef611d08 in _XReply () #5 0xef644a28 in _XQueryFont () #6 0xef614394 in XLoadQueryFont () #7 0xef733520 in fl_try_get_font_struct () #8 0xef73329c in fl_set_font_name () #9 0x4585c in LyXGUI::init (this=0x267af8) at lyx_gui.C:253 #10 0x38b74 in LyX::LyX (this=0xeffff3a0, argc=0xeffff42c, argv=0xeffff44c) at ../src/lyx_main.C:93 #11 0x38774 in main (argc=1, argv=0xeffff44c) at ../src/main.C:51 The MicroImages X-server seems fine with other programs. I'd welcome suggestions of where to go from here. Regards, -- Ronald Florence Maple Lawn Farm, Stonington, CT [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.connix.com/~mlfarm
