XmTextField ... not supported in font.

Submitted by Anonymous on Thu, 06/08/2000 - 22:48.

The XmText widget is acting really odd in my code, so I tried periodic and sampler2_0 in demos/ and they give me the same warning

Warning
Name NBTextField
Class XmTextField
Character `61` not supported in font. Discarded.

So I looked in Xm/TextF.c and the warning is being printed up from the ValidateString() function.

I also did a `diff TextF.c TextF.c.opengroup` and the only changes were "#if defined(__FreeBSD__)" contain and since I`m running Linux the ICS mod`s aren`t it.

So is this a known bug or is something wacky about my install?

the clear it first trick

A good friend told me about the "clear it first trick"

XmTextFieldSetString(w, "");
XmTextFieldSetString(w, buf);

Reseting some internal Motif state seems to make the odd behavior and the warnings go away. Yes its a hack but I`m
not brave enough to go into TextF.c and fix it proper.

character not supported in this font

hello,
i 'm using openmotif-2.2.3-2 on a Fedora Core 1, and i'm trying to port an application from HP-UX onto the Fedora.
My problem is that some things are wrong like this:
whit several XmTextField, I've got this error:
"character xxx not supported in this font"

I searched on Internet and i found that its a bug with openmotif 2.2.
but i didn't find how to resolve it (i found patch to RedHat Enterprise but not for Fedora, and i don't have the file TextF.c)...so any body could help me?

regards,
jula.
