Seems that lesstif works well for simple things, but the nastier the Motif involved, the less likely that lesstif will be bug-compliant.<BR/><BR/>The modify-a-string-in-place problem sounds like gcc is putting the strings in a read-only section, which is what it does for string constants. MipsPro doesn't do that, so it usually worked.<BR/><BR/>I can't say what's up with the exceptions. They never quite work right for me.Prematurely Airconditioned Supermarkethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04259727027806797128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8919860543765866292.post-72547018829110678682008-04-22T16:07:00.000-05:002008-04-22T16:07:00.000-05:00I'd guess that the particular italicised font isn't installed.<BR/><BR/>Sounds like you earned your money today. And probably had some fun. I know I feel ecstatic when I've just squashed some particularly gnarly bug.zmowerhttp://zmower.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.com
