Re: [STUMP] stumpwm won't start on OpenBSD macppc/sbcl

[David Bjergaard]

Hi Solène,

You definitely have one of the weirder OS/CPU architectures out there.  If I had
to guess, it looks like it may not be opening the right system font (9x15).  

Make sure its available on your system.  Clx will give you a list of possible
fonts (from slime attached to stumpwm):

> (xlib:list-font-names stumpwm:*display* "*")
If it won't even launch (which appears to be the case) you may need to try a
guess-and-check approach.  It looks like you may have some luck checking the
fonts in X11.  On my system, there are aliases defined in this file:

THere you can see the default stumpwm uses (9x15).  I have a vague recollection
that some systems don't necessarily ship with this, so finding out whats
avilable and editing the parameter:
> (defparameter +default-font-name+ "9x15")
To point to your font may be whats required.

Stumpwm provides this through the interface "set-font", but it may not work
since the display has to be initialized before the rc file is loaded.

Let me know if this helps.
