Font problems running X though Putty
Tuesday, March 9, 2004 11:47 PM - Neil Brown
Hi,
I'm running Xmanager 2.0 on my Win2k box, connecting to a Red Hat Advanced Server 3 Linux box. If I use Xstart to connect to the box and run GIMP, everything's OK, but if I run an X server using "Xmanager - Passive" and connect to the same box using PuTTY, when I load GIMP, the fonts are different (they're bigger and don't fit on the screen), even though it's using the same X server. Further, if I connect to a RH 7.2 Linux box, I don't get this problem. Any ideas why it's playing up with RHELAS3?
I've attached two JPEG images of the Gimp loading, through Xstart (gimp_xstart.jpg) and through PuTTY (gimp_putty.jpg). It looks like a font spacing problem?
Cheers,
Neil

Hi Neil,
Your problem is caused due to exporting unsuitable LANG variable for running GIMP. To solve this, you can do one of the followings:
- In PuTTY, export a proper language value into the environment variable 'LANG' and run GIMP.
ΒΏ ex) export LANG=en_US
- Add the Helvetica font into Xmanager Font Directory List as follows:
ΒΏ 1. Download the zip file from the link below:
ΒΏΒΏΒΏΒΏ ΒΏ http://download.conux.com/files/fonts/helveti10646.zip
ΒΏ 2. Create a new directory.
ΒΏΒΏΒΏΒΏΒΏ ex) C:\Program Files\NetSarang\Xmanager 2.0\Fonts\Helvetica
ΒΏ 3. Uncompress the file "helveti10646.zip" into the new directory.
ΒΏ 4. Open Xconfig.
ΒΏ 5. Double-click on "Default Profile".
ΒΏ 6. Choose the Font tab and click on the "Add Font Directory..." button.
ΒΏ 7. Open the file "fonts.dir" located in the new directory.
ΒΏ 8. Move down the Helvetica font directory to the bottom of the Font Directory List.
ΒΏ 9. Click OK.
Hope this solve your problem.
