xdrawstring not working

Question

Hi,

I am using xdrawstring on solaris 10 as well as sunos 2.6. I am drawing everything to pixmap and then outputting the final pixmap. The method works on older version but on newer version it doesn't seem to work showing nothing as text.

Best regards, RUI

Answer 1

Can you show us your function call?

What values if any does XDrawString return? Are there traces printed to the stderr?

Can't really help without more information...

Answer 2

hhafez is probably right we need more info. But across environments might have something to do with when and how you call XFlush() or XSynchronize() see the man pages for these here's one: http://www.xfree86.org/current/XSynchronize.3.html.
