I tried to post this to comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine, but there were no replies. I realize this is partly covered on the Codeweavers web site, but I'm not sure whether the discussions there apply to my problem, and I wasn't able to find a solution by Googleing around either. So here it goes. I'll start with a little explanation, but it may be possible to just skip down to the "***" marked section. When I start Wine on my RedHat 7.3 machine running XFree86, Wine works fine. On the first run, it makes a few complaints about certain fonts not working correctly, but on subsequent runs it doesn't complain and Windows applications seem to be working as expected. So far, so good. However, when I login to my Linux desktop from a remote machine using Startnet's X-Win32 5.3 X server for Windows, Wine aborts with the following error: X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 45 (X_OpenFont) Serial number of failed request: 3358 Current serial number in output stream: 3359 My X-Win32 is set up to use my Linux machine as a font server rather than using X-Win32's built-in fonts, and because these are the very same fonts that work fine on a local login, I don't think it's any broken fonts that are causing problems. The discussions on the Codeweavers web site indicate that Wine(?) is simply running out of resources building the font cache, but my XFree86 installation is a pretty bare-bones one using only the XFree86-base-fonts fonts. In fact, when I make an extreme limitation on the number of fonts on a remote login, such as avoiding the use of my Linux machine as a font server, I don't get that error and the Windows applications work as expected. Unfortunately, for various reasons I can't accept such a limited number of fonts. *** So, here's the question: I need to be able to specify a relatively large number of fonts for a remote login via X-Win32, without getting a BadAlloc error. Is this a problem that is to be found somewhere inside of the X-Win32 X server (meaning I'll get rid of it and buy another X server), or can I hack the Wine source to increase the limit of whatever resources are needed?
