https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=289983#c7 Dr. Werner Fink changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |werner@novell.com AssignedTo|werner@novell.com |sndirsch@novell.com Status|REOPENED |NEW --- Comment #7 from Dr. Werner Fink 2007-07-11 04:13:24 MST --- That is not the question, the manual page does not describe this option that means if an toolkit option does not work anymore this is not a bug of gv but a buggy or simply changed feature of the toolkit its self. GV uses XtOpenDisplay(3) and therefore uses XOpenDisplay(3) and afterwards XtDisplayInitialize(3). The last function uses XrmParseCommand(3) to parse all arguments, perform and remove all known arguments of the libXt from the list. The options defined by the GV sources will be expanded afterwards also within XrmParseCommand(3) with the rest arguments list. To be noted even without the I18N patch the libXt accepts the option -fn or -font but does not do anything about the specified font. IMHO there was a changed within libXt. Beside this the option -xrm 'GV*font: ...' is also parsed but ignored. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

So we have a regression in libXt since more than 2 years, which nobody noticed so far. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

On major advantage of Linux is ... or should I say was ... that the users try to fix the problem by their own and report the fix upstream. This was the way I got involved into Linux and Open Source ;) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

So it will be on other distributions as well which have recent versions of Xorg. We try to fix as many problems as we can, but our resources are limited. Hopefully somebody will find the time to fix it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
