Testing The Installation

TeemTalk should now be run up and work perfectly - if however you get the error
message, Cannot Load Font..., then the font installation has failed. The following
tips may be useful:
- The installation is designed to load the fonts in the format
required by the workstation that TeemTalk is being loaded
onto.
If TeemTalk is to be run from another display (workstation or
X terminal), then a different version of bdftosnf (supplied with
the other display) or the standard bdftosnf but with different
parameters may need to be used. Most X terminals usually
look in different directories for the fonts so the installation
script will need modifying to reflect this.
- Some workstations/X terminals require the fonts to have both
read and surprisingly write permission for them to able to be
loaded by the server.
- Try restarting the X server. If xset fp rehash failed then this is
a sure way to make sure the server is aware of additions to the
fonts.
- Check that the correct version of bdftosnf is being used. It is
possible that someone has loaded a version with different
defaults (for another workstation). It is unlikely that the
original will have been overwritten but it is possible that the
wrong version is being picked up by the OS first.
- xlsfonts is a useful way of listing fonts known to the server.
Check that the TeemTalk fonts are listed (e.g. xlsfonts | grep
tis). If they are listed but TeemTalk cannot load them then
check the protections as described above.
- Check that the directory in which the fonts have been installed
is part of the server font path. The font path that the server is
using is easily found by looking at the font path reported by
xset q. Make sure when running xset that it is done from the
display where TeemTalk is going to be run.
- If all the above fail, re-run the installation paying careful
attention to any error messages which may have been missed
first time around.
