Re: [Bug-XBoard] [bug #33241] xboard quits with "Unable to create font set."

[Tim Mann]

Yes, that should do it. The default font is certainly a small change. I didn't look at the rest for very long, just enough to know it would take more time than I wanted to spend before going to bed. :-)

It looks like we need to change FindFont to just return the fontset, then change the rest of the code to set fontSet resources using that value instead of setting font resources.  That looks like it will be a fair amount of work to carry through fully. Maybe it's best to nuke all the old code in the process instead of trying to carry it around and make it still work if compiling without ENABLE_NLS defined.

Would this really require a lot of work? The current version uses 3 fonts: clocks, board coordinates, and the rest. clockFont is used in only two widgets, which explicitly mention an XtNfont arg at their creation. The coordFont is only used for rendering text in the graphical board widget, for which it is turned into a GC (coordGC). All the other stuff seems to be handled in bulk, by the single call:

    XrmPutStringResource(&xdb, "*font", appData.font);

Couldn't we simply change that call to

    XrmPutStringResource(&xdb, "*fontSet", fntSet);

to acheive what we want? (And of course make sure fntSet used in FindFont is a global variable.)
