WAVE is an XView application, and requires the Open Look cursor font on the server. If your server doesn't have this font (` olcursor.snf' for X11R4 and earlier servers, `olcursor.pcf' for X11R5 and later servers), you must install it before WAVE will run. XView applications also use the `olgl??.snf' or `olgl??.pcf' glyph fonts; if these are missing, WAVE will run but certain standard Open Look graphical elements will not have the correct appearance. To install these fonts on your X server's system:
You should be able to find `ol*.snf' or `ol*.pcf' files on the machine on which WAVE resides (probably in /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc). The `ol*.pcf' files are portable (although usually optimized for the architecture of the system on which they are installed). If you need to use `snf' fonts, however, and the server machine is not of the same architecture, it will be necessary to find `ol*.bdf' in the XView distribution and use `bdftosnf' to generate `.snf' files for your X server system's architecture (see the man page for `bdftosnf'; this step can be done trivially on the server machine, if `bdftosnf' is available there, or with a little more trouble on the remote machine). If the server machine runs UNIX, read the man pages for `mkfontdir' and `xset' to see how to update and reread the font database; otherwise, consult the documentation for your X server. Note that (under UNIX) you do not need to have write permission in the standard font directory in order to perform these steps; if you add your own font directory to the font path using `xset', however, remember that this setting lasts only until the server exits and will need to be repeated afterwards.
