ERROR: Unsupported X Windows visual [message #8411]

Hi,

I use idl on a remote machine running DEC OSF 4.0. My local machine is
a PC running Linux. When I try to open _any_ idl windows (e.g. plot,
?), the following error message occurs:

IDL. Version 4.0.1 (OSF alpha).
Copyright 1989-1995, Research Systems, Inc.
All rights reserved. Unauthorized reproduction prohibited.
Installation number: 13352-0.

IDL> ?
Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-Menu-Medium-R-Normal--*-120-*-*-P-*-ISO8859-1" to type FontStruct
% Unsupported X Windows visual (class: StaticGray, depth: 0).
Substituting default (class: <UndefinedVisual>, Depth: 0).
% Execution halted at: $MAIN$

Since any other X program I tested so far works properly (netscape,
avs, spss and many pd programs), I assume the problem is very
specific for the Linux/idl combination. There are no such problems,
when the local host is either a dec alpha running OSF 4.0 or a PC
running windows (3.11 or 95) with an X window emulator.

Did anyone else encounter the problem?

Did anyone solve it, too?

Thanks for any hints
