    Grace Font Problems

    Hi, I just installed Fedora 10 i686 and I installed grace from through yum. The fonts don't look right though, they are being drawn on a black background even though it should be white. The picture below shows what I mean. Any suggestions? Sometimes if I rescale the axes the text is drawn normal but if I close and reopen it the test is drawn with a black background. If I print to eps, things look fine in the eps file.

    Unhappy

    Please people ....some put some help on this issue ..... I am a graduate student and I use grace a lot ..... but after installing grace in fedora 10, I have the same problem ........ the fonts on the axis tics are not clear ..... just the same problem as the last post .....

    by the way here is the font sets that I have installed in my box ......

    Code:
    [user@localhost]# yum list | grep fonts

    Suggestions (but more like "educated" guesses):
    > Install package mesa-libGLw; re-start grace.
    > Install package yum-utils and then run (as root user or sudo):
    package-cleanup --dupes
    package-cleanup --problems


    to make sure that there are no duplicates/dependency problems.

    thanks for the reply .........
    I already had the package mesa-libGLw as mesa-libGLw.i386 0:6.5.1-5.fc9 . also i had yum-utils and also there is no dependency problems.

    so the bottom line is : the grace is still the same ........ hazy fonts all around ......

    Well, poo.

    I have seen a number of older programs with somewhat similar (or worse) rendering problems with the newer F9/10 X11/Xorg. However, GRACE appears to be relatively up-to-date code-wise. If you really, truly NEED to try something, then try this mesa-libGLw: http://www.4shared.com/file/76606537...icroni386.html. Ignore the F9 tag - it's fine for F10. NO GUARANTEES, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. But it should be OK. Not GPG-signed (download and install with 'yum --nogpgcheck localinstall ...', or use RPM to install).

    I assume that you have tried several different fonts? From different font packages?? As ugly as this looks on-screen, does it print out OK???

    still Not working!!! I installed the package you provided after removing my old mesa-libGLw 6.5 version ........

    by the way may I ask what could be the possible reason for such a hazy fonts?? and what mesa-libGLw has to with it?? just out of curiosity!!

    Now I tried another approach ...... I tried to install the grace by compiling myself ...... but I could have any success as it stops just during configure step, with the error
    Code:
    checking for a Motif >= 1002 compatible API... no
    configure: error: M*tif has not been found
    what could this mean?? even though I have
    Code:
    $ yum list | grep motif
    openmotif.i386                      2.3.1-1                    installed
    any idea about this??
    I assume that you have tried several different fonts? From different font packages?? As ugly as this looks on-screen, does it print out OK???
    yes as you have might notices in my first post I have tried with all lots of fonts with out any improvement though!! and about your last question :: even though it looks in ugly on the screen, it prints OK to any format eps or ps or svg or any other format.

    One more point : when I install grace with yum : it installs this :

    Code:
    ==================================================================================================================
     Package                                   Arch              Version                      Repository         Size

    now have a look at this : for dependency it just installs xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi font ........ so the question is : does garce uses only this font?? I dont think so, because then why it asks for motif when I try to compile the source.....

    ok may be I am talking silly ..... but my aim is to find a solution ....... so need help

    GRACE uses MOTIF (lesstif), and mesa-libGLw is the MOTIF run-time library, as shown:
    Code:
    ~]$ rpm -qi mesa-libGLw
    [...]
    Summary     : Xt / Motif OpenGL widgets
    Description :
    Mesa libGLw runtime library
    Your compile failed because you do not have the required *-devel RPMs installed. In this case: motif-devel and/or lesstif-devel. Try:
    yum groupinstall "Development Tools" "Development Libraries" "X Development Tools"

    You may have to remove my mesa-libGLw first.

    The X.Org font prerequisite is indeed odd, but the first poster above had all xorg fonts, but still had a problem. So... I'm not sure what else to suggest next. Install all the development stuff and try again to compile GRACE....

    Exclamation

    I am now just trying to compile the source ...... but the problem with the motif is still there even though I have installed the lesstif and lesstif-devel. I also tried with openmotif and openmotif-devel ...... but still no success .........

    any way ....... thanks for the replies ........

    Unhappy

    here is a quick update:

    I just installed a new fedora 10 in my Sun xVM VirtualBox. and installed garce just after the first update. The font in the grace is just fine now in the guest version of f10. Now I looked at the list of fonts installed in this new installation. and then I also installed the SAME fonts in my old (the host now) fedora. and removed all extra fonts. But still it does not work : i.e. the grace font in the old (host) one is still ugly.

    on the other hand while trying to compile the source I got some success. Here is what I did :

    As I mentioned earlier there was a configure error while compiling grace-5.1.22 :

    Code:
    configure: error M*tif has not been found
    then I looked in the config.log file : it was like :

    Code:
    configure:17975: checking for a Motif >= 1002 compatible API
    configure:18023: gcc -o conftest  -O2 -m486 -fno-common -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wnested-externs    -L/usr/lib  conftest.c -lXm -lXt -lXext -lX11   >&5
    cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-m486"
    then I edited the configure file and change all instances of -m486 to -mtune=i486 (got this clue form some other forum!!). Now the the configure was successful.

    I have not yet installed the compiled version and also have not tried your last suggestions yet. I will do it a little later ....... I have to go to sleep now ..........

    thanks .............

    I have no further ideas at this point either. The fact that it looks fine in a virtual machine seems to indicate a possible video driver problem. What video driver is installed in the host system? And in the virtual machine??

    BTW: -march=i486 is legal, -m486 is not; but -mtune=generic[i486] is also fine. I'm confused as to why that caused the M*tif error, but... whatever works, I guess.

    Many video drivers are installed by default, as you can see (because many people have many different hardware configs). Two things:
    glxinfo|grep render

    will give driver info. And:
    su -
    lspci|grep VGA


    will give hardware info. For the Virtual Machine, VBox/VMWare itself should tell you in the setup for the virtual machine.

    here is what I have :

    Code:
    $ glxinfo|grep render
    direct rendering: Yes
    OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Q35 GEM 20080716 x86/MMX/SSE2
    Code:
    # lspci|grep VGA
    00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82Q35 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
    about virtual box video driver ...... I could not find any info for the video driver.....

    here is a screen shot of the VBox fedora 10 details :



    I am not sure whether this gives any clue to you or not about the video driver used ..... any way I could not find any other info ..........
