Your system is mounting OpenWindows rom a server.Your OpenWindows server, which contains the onts used by your applications, is on a remote

system. Font Administrator manages onts on the local system.

Possible Solutions Ask your system administrator to help you.

I you are the administrator, run Font Administrator on the same system running yourOpenWindows server.

Unable to add the installation directory automatically to theont path

Font Administrator could not automatically update the ont path. For users to have access to the

installed onts, the installation directory must be in the ont path.

Possible Solution

Check that you have write privileges on the ont path.

Error while saving ont path or local printerThere was a problem with either the printer conguration le, or the $OPENWINHOME/lib/fontsdirectory.

Possible Solutions Check that the printer conguration le exists and is not corrupted:

/etc/lp/printers/printer_name/.param

Check that the $OPENWINHOME/lib/fonts directory exists.
