Hi,
This problem was already posted on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1536798 but there was no solution yet.
So, the problem is same, but I have Ubuntu 14.04...
I have an application running on a Solaris 10 server and I am getting the display on my Ubuntu desktop (14.04.2 trusty with kernel 3.13.0-32-generic x86_64 and unity 7.2.4).
But the problem is the fonts don't display well. So I tried to connect to the font server running on the Solaris server.
Firstly:
$ xhost +
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
I tried all these variants:
xset fp+ tcp/<solaris-hostname>:7100
xset fp+ tcp/<solaris-ip>:7100
xset fp+ tcp/<solaris-FQDN>:7100
The host name resolution was ok.
Font path:
$ xset q
/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc,/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic,/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled,/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled,/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1,/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi,/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi,built-ins
But I keep getting this error:
xset: bad font path element (#8), possible causes are:
Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
Directory missing fonts.dir
Incorrect font server address or syntax
If I removed (xset fp- built-ins) the 8th of elements (built-ins), the error changed to #7 and so on...
No network problem:
# telnet <solaris-ip> 7100
Trying <remotehost-ip>...
Connected to <remotehost-FQDN>
Escape character is '^]'.
I verified that the font server is running on the Solaris server this way:
bash-3.2# netstat -an | grep 7100
*.7100 *.* 0 0 49152 0 LISTEN
<solaris-ip>.7100 <ubuntu-ip>.48015 29312 0 49232 0 ESTABLISHED
That was the telnet connection...
bash-3.2# cat /etc/*release
Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 s10x_u10wos_17b X86

Assembled 23 August 2011
I have more of a Debian (Wheezy) system, which works well...
I have Googled for the last days on this without finding any answer. So this is my last resort! Any help will be really appreciated...
Thanks in advance!
[Alternatively, is there some way to install the Solaris fonts on Ubuntu?]
