Hi Mark,
This sounds like a font problem.    I'm on vacation today
and need to get back to some furniture moving, but I'm attaching
a copy of our fonts.list and colors.list files so you have some
more examples to work from.    The colors are probably fine
with the default, but fonts can be tricky depending on your
linux distribution.    The attached ones work for us from RHEL5,
RHEL6, and from windows systems.

Edm widget layouts assume a standard dpi, so you should use
either 75dpi or 100dpi fonts exclusively in your fonts.list file.
I think the default is 75dpi, which is what we're using.

You should install xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi, or the xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi
depending on which way you go.   You should also install xorg-x11-fonts-misc
and xorg-x11-fonts-truetype as well.

If you're still having trouble, post a copy of your fonts.list file and
any console error msgs and I'll take a look later.

Cheers,
- Bruce

Folks,

 

I am new to edm and am having problems with fonts or colors or something.

 

The problem is that all of the buttons in the edm display appear to be lacking labels and the text entry widgets have no text.  I have attached a screen shot of the edm display showing the problem.

 

Is this due to the font errors, or a color problem, or something else?

 

When I run an edm display from Diamond Light Source I get the following errors repeating from edm in a message window:

 

Cannot find font: [arial-bold-r-10.0]

  Using default window font: [arial-bold-r-12.0]

Cannot find default window font: [arial-bold-r-12.0]

  Using default site font: [helvetica-medium-r-10.0]

 

It appears that it did find my default site font, helvetica-medium-r-10.0.

 

Here are the arial fonts on my system:

I added those fonts to my fonts.list, but I still get the same errors.

 

Thanks,

Mark

#
# Font spec strategy
# Generally we prefer scalable fonts, specified w/ zero point size, field 8, and zero avg width, field 12
# For example
# -adobe-helvetica-(medium,bold)-(r,o)-normal--0-(80,100,120,140,180,240)-75-75-p-0-*-*
# before the non-scalable font spec which uses a wild card
# -adobe-helvetica-(medium,bold)-(r,o)-normal--*-(80,100,120,140,180,240)-75-75-p-*-*-*
#

#
# For the newer RedHat RHEL6 machines, the available 75dpi fonts
# generally don't provide larger than 24.0 point sizes.
# Instead of just providing a generic match at the end of these font groups,
# which maps all the font sizes for that group to the generic font, I split
# these font groups, thus allowing a different font spec to be selected for the
# larger font sizes.   We rarely use these larger sizes, so defaulting to a
# generic font for them allows the screen to render while still keeping a
# good match for the smaller font sizes
#

# Helvetica sizes 8,10,12,14,18,and 24
