RE: xview: hello word does not launch

["Carl R. Crawford" <crawford dot carl at gmail dot com>]

Thank you for replying. While I thought that it was a connect problem, you
were correct and it is font issue. There are two problems.

1) Sun put specific fonts in the public domain and they are available thru
setup.exe.

2) xview uses a number of fonts, e.g., lucida-medium, as defaults for some
packages and uses others that cannot be changed for other packages. I cannot
find these fonts via setup. Do you have any suggestions on how to find these
latter sets of fonts?

Thanks,

--Carl

It sounds like you need to install a font to me.

Run setup.exe again and choose a lucida font from the list.
