no text on new graphics - missing path or bad file? [message #93299]

Hello!
Suddenly the titles, numbers on color bars, lat/lon values on maps no longer plot in new graphics. One day they were there, the next day gone - no changes in my script.

the titles will show up in old graphics.
I have tried both embedding the argument in the intiial call

p1 = plot(indgen(4), indgen(4), title = 'test')

and after

p1 = plot(indgen(4), indgen(4))
p1.title = 'test'

but no title shows up despite the info being stored:

IDL> print, p1.title
TEXT <5012>
ALIGNMENT = 0.500000
BASELINE = 1.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000
CLIP = 0
COLOR = 0 0 0
FILL_BACKGROUND = 0
FILL_COLOR = -1
FONT_COLOR = 0 0 0
FONT_NAME = 'Helvetica'
FONT_SIZE = 12.000000
FONT_STYLE = 0
HIDE = 0
NAME = 'Title'
ONGLASS = 0
POSITION = 0.52421875 0.91175000 0.52421875 0.91175000
STRING = 'test'
TRANSPARENCY = 0.00000
UPDIR = 0.0000000 1.0000000 0.0000000
VERTICAL_ALIGNMENT = 0.00000

It seems to be a problem of idl communicating to the new graphics window this particular text information.

Does anyone know where I might look in the IDL paths to see if a file got corrupted?

I am on a linux cluster, using idl 8.5

So far IT support has just suggested I use old graphics....not so helpful.

thanks!
Amy
