I couldn't find any posted solution to peter's problem.
I am seeing what may be a similar problem. While I haven't
personally seen a bunch of font errors printed out, one of
our student's has - probably the way I caused the crash caused
the window to be obscured so I could not read the errors.
I could not check for errors afterwards, because the crash
not only kills IDL, but it kills the whole CDE session.
I can cause this crash easily and consistently by firing up
the IDL demo:
IDL> demo
Then clicking on the "visualization" button then clicking on
the "flythrough" button. A big mostly blank window pops up, then
shortly thereafter, my CDE session terminates.
Here's my system info.
# uname -a
SunOS cayman 5.8 Generic_108528-08 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-1000
Can anyone offer any suggestions?
Thanks a lot.
