Title: X_OpenFont Error while running the FEAP 8.2 in Linux Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit
Post by: osman on February 26, 2014, 05:26:25 AM

My routines in Fortran are perfectly compiled and when I run the FEAP I received nothing unless I include the plot commands in my input file. If I include pot commends or simply without analyzing after typing
>plot node
then suddenly the FEAP window crushes and leave me with this type error;


X Error of failed request:  BadName (named color or font does not exist)
  Major opcode of failed request:  45 (X_OpenFont)
  Serial number of failed request:  705
  Current serial number in output stream:  706

To overcome this I tried to install helvetica ( sudo apt-get helvetica -bold-r-normal--20 etc.) but I couldn't . Is there any suggestion to get this kink out ?

You need to make sure that XLoadFont is using a name compatible with your helvetica installation, or change XLoadFont to something you already have.
