3305.0. "X$SET_FON_PATH => application stops" by MUNICH::STEFAN () Wed Sep 05 1990 03:12

	Could anyone help me ?

		When I use the call X$SET_FON_PATH in an VAXbinding
		FORTRAN program the application stops forever.

	It would be very nice if someone has a small example program
	which shows how X$SET_FON_PATH works.

3305.1extra trailing comma?STAR::HARDYWed Sep 05 1990 09:186
    
    	Does the string you pass in contain a trailing comma?  If so,
    remove it.  Also, don't expect X$SET_FONT_PATH to be quick.  It opens
    all the font files in the search path.

    I tried the VAX binding and *never* got it to work, no permutation I
    used made a lick of difference - it either corrupted the font path,
    hung forever, or crashed the program.  The MIT binding worked everytime.
