Thanks to Kevin Criss who supplied the correct info and missing font files.
This has nothing to do with Tru64, but with eXcursion. I was missing some
fonts, specifically, fonts for cde. I added a directory for cde in the
C:\WIN32APP\XCURSION\fonts\ dirctory and added a couple of files. Fonts.ali
and Fonts.dir. After adding in these fonts I went into the eXcursion
control panel, went to the fonts tab and added the fonts there. To get to
the control panel you have to right click on the incon on the taskbar and
select, you guessed it, 'control panel'. Then you can type in the path to
the new directory or use the search function. The search function searches
the whole drive/partition so it takes a while.
After adding the new fonts I started up a session and the messages were
gone, but the fonts size was larger. I went into the style manger and
changed the font size from 3 to 2. Then I exited and logged back in. For
some reason the error message came back, so I restarted the eXcursion server
and everything was ok. It was using the new fonts, i.e. no error messages,
and the resolution was where I wanted it.
If anyone needs these files, let me know and I will send them to you.
