I'm trying to use an old binary (HP VEX simulator: http://www.hpl.hp.com/downloads/vex) which uses VCG visualization tool (http://www.rw.cdl.uni-saarland.de/~sander/html/gsvcg1.html).
The binary fails because of a failed function call:
#define VCG_DEFAULT_FONT "-*-courier-*-*-*--14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"
char Xfontname[512] = VCG_DEFAULT_FONT;
panel_font = XLoadQueryFont(root_display,Xfontname);
I am wondering if installing the font on the machine would solve this issue? If so, how can I install the font so that XLoadQueryFont function would detect it.
I am using an Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS.
I would appreciate any other proposed solutions.
Thanks!
