  85   <li>Fixed problem with cleartrig for the Linux clients</li>
  86
  87   <li>Investigated and found a work around to font problems between Linux and Sun</li>

  90 </ul>
  91                   <h3>Cleartrig and font problems on Linux clients</h3>
  92
  93 <p>I hit a few problems when attempting to verify proper execution of Clearcase/Clearquest and our WOR integration on Linux machines.</p>
  94
  95 <h3>Cleartrig problems</h3>
  96
  97 <p>The first problem was that the Linux installation of Cleartrig (remotely accessible through /cleartrib/bin) was missing execute permissions for group and other. The solution to this was to add execute permissions.</p>
  98
  99 <h3>Font Problems</h3>
 100
 101 <p>his is running under the assumption that:</p>
 102
 103 <ol>
 104   <li>The user is on a Solaris box and running CDE and</li>
 105
 106   <li>The user is remotely logged into a Linux box (currently only ranlin02 and ranlin03) and displaying back to his/her Solaris machine</li>
 107 </ol>
 108
 109 <p>The user may see dialog boxes with no text or other errors relating to fonts. Since most engineers use Solaris and CDE many X Font Resources are set to fonts only available on CDE supported systems<sup>1</sup>. For example, executing xrdb -q | grep -i font may result in the
 110 following:</p>
 111
 112 <div class=code><pre>
 113 *Font:             -dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-s*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
 114 *FontList:         -dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-s*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
 115 *labelFontList:    -dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-s*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
 116 ...
 117 </pre></div>
 118
 119 <p>Needless to say these "dt" fonts are not known in the Linux world and this causes Clearcase/Clearquest some problems when running remotely displayed to an X server using such font. The solution is to use more universally acceptable fonts such as fixed. The following set of X Font Resources seems to work:</p>
 120
 121 <div class=code><pre>
 122 *Font:                  fixed
 123 *FontList:              fixed
 124 *labelFontList:         fixed
 125 *buttonFontList:        fixed
 126 *textFontList:          fixed
 127 *DtEditor*textFontList: fixed
 128 *systemFont:            fixed
 129 *XmText*FontList:       fixed
 130 *FontSet:               fixed
 131 *XmTextField*FontList:  fixed
 132 *fontGroup:             Courier
 133 </pre></div>
 134
 135 <p>If you are experiencing problems with X Fonts when running from a Linux machine add the above lines to a file, say ~/.fonts then do</p>
 136
 137 <div class=code><pre>
 138 $ xrdb -m ~/.fonts
 139 </pre></div>
 140
 141 <h4>Notes:</h4>
 142 <ol>
 143   <li><a name="note1"></a>These "dt" fonts are often set into CDE's environment when say using the Style Manager to change your font settings.</li>
