SoftBench 6.X supports version 4.08.00 of PC-Xware. Other
versions have not been tested.
PC-Xware can retrieve its fonts from a font server or from locally-installed
font files. PC-Xware cannot access fonts on an HP-UX system.
PC-Xware uses a Font Path to determine where to find the fonts requested
by X applications. The default Font Path for PC-Xware is
C:\Program Files\Solstice\Pcx |
The instructions that follow are for placing the fonts in
this default location. If you choose a different location, you can
modify the Font Path by choosing "Configure: X Server -> Fonts".
See the PC-Xware documentation for details on accessing a
font server or for changing the X font path.
Configuring PC-Xware to Use a Font Server |
 |
To access fonts from a font server, choose "Configure:
X Server -> Fonts".Select the [Add Font Server]
button, and add the font server line to the front of the Font Path.
The font server line uses this format: tcp/hostname:port
Installing PC-Xware Fonts Locally |
|
PC-Xware uses the same *.pcf fonts as those used on UNIX.
However, PC-Xware cannot access the fonts across the network. If
you prefer not to access the fonts from a font server, you can install
the fonts locally onto your PC.To use locally-installed fonts, copy
the file
/opt/softbench/fonts/pcfonts/pcxware.zip |
to your PC. Unpack it at C:\ This assumes that you
have PC-Xware installed at
C:\Program Files\Solstice\Pcx |
After unpacking the zip file, bring up the PC-Xware GUI and
choose "Configure: X Server -> Fonts".
Add the following font directory names, in this order, to the beginning
of the Font Path.

hp_roman8
x11-iso
Misc |
Other applications may need the other font directories listed
in the Font Path, so do not remove them from the path.
When you are through, restart PC-Xware to access the new fonts.
You can verify your font path on the HP-UX system with the
HP-UX command:
