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

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?

Thanks for the info. Can you run this command
xlsfonts > fonts
and send me the fonts file.
Jeff.

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.
