nanogui: Thread: New to Nano-X: Font problems

Hello all,
I'm sorry if this is not the right place for this question. I started experimenting with nano-X last week but i had some trouble to display built in fonts.I've compiled the code using the "config.x11" configuration file removing the jpg and png support and i successfully run some of the test applications.After installing the libraries, headers and binaries i started to do some tests with the hello.c code found in the tutorial but when i run the compiled code all i have is a white window whatever the text is.I have tested it with and without the windows manager, and when i use the windows manager the title bar is also without text.I can only have some text written if I use a different font like "arial" or "times" but in this case the text appear in a black rectangle no matter which background color i set.After running my hello.c i noted that also the demos are without any text on the title bars and they never display the built in fonts.
What could cause this problems?
Thanks in advance (or sorry again if this is not the right place),

Franco,

Try compiling up the tree and running the various
src/*.sh demo shell scripts to see whether fonts
work.  Or is your issue just to do with adding internal
fonts to the system?

Regards,

Greg

I noticed now that previously i haven't sent it to the newsgroup... sorry for the mistake.
Hello Greg,I don't want to add internal fonts in the system, just use the already built in.I tried the demo scripts and here are the results.chess.sh: no text anywhere and it looks i can't move anythingfontdemo.sh: the string in the windows is correct, but there is no text in the title barfontdemo2.sh: text in the window but not in the title barfontdemo3.sh: the samegrabdemo.sh: (removing nxterm) all i have is a empty windowgrdemo.sh: crashes because of tsdemodemo.sh: no text on the title bar.demo2.sh:  it crashes on nxterm with the following errors:nxclient: bad readblock -1, errno 104nxclient 7020: Corrupted packetnxclient: lost connection to Nano-X servernxclient: lost connection to Nano-X servernxclient: bad readblock -1, errno 104nxclient 7018: Corrupted packetAlso the hello.c in the documentation runs without any text being drawn.Is it possible that I'm missing some libraries or other pieces somewhere?Regards,Franco Benedetti> From: ####@####.#### To: ####@####.#### ####@####.#### Date: Tue, 31 May 2011 21:19:28 -0600> Subject: Re: [nanogui] New to Nano-X: Font problems> > Franco,> > Try compiling up the tree and running the various> src/*.sh demo shell scripts to see whether fonts> work.

I downloaded and compiled microwindows 0.92 full so i have the fonts in src/fonts, I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 with GNOME, gcc version is 4.5.2.I compiled using the config.x11 removing jpg and png support.the make reports a lot of warning  but no errors. It is very long, should i copy it here?
