UMUI does not display correctly

[eike]

I tried to run the UMUI on PUMA, but the output looks really weird, with huge fonts for the menu bar. I attach a screenshot.

Thanks a lot,

Eike

Hi Eike

Try this command to copy a file into your home directory, then restart the umui

cp ~jeff/.ghui_appearance_win ~/.ghui_appearance

Hi Jeff,

thanks a lot, this solves my problem.

Cheers,

Eike

However, unfortunately, I still get a problem if I try to copy an experiment: I get a dialog window which has a huge font size (see attached file Screenshot.jpg), and I can't even see the Ok or Cancel buttons.

Thanks, Eike

What computer/operating system do you use to run the umui?

I log in to PUMA from my local machine in Bath, which runs Linux (Ubuntu):

em459@limol $ cat /etc/*-release
CentOS release 5.5 (Final)

ssh -Y eike@…

Thanks for the info. Can you run this command

xlsfonts > fonts

and send me the fonts file.

Jeff.

[eike]

I attached the output of

xlsfonts

both on PUMA and on my local machine (mapc-4031).

Thanks, Eike

I've made some changes to the umui, can you restart the umui and see if I've managed to fix your font problem.

Jeff.

It seems to work now, thanks a lot for sorting this out.
