NCD-USERS: Font Server Question - Reply

Ours works OK here - your error may be the "clone-self = yes" setting.
I also happen to use port 7010 for the font server because the default
conflicts with something else I'm using. The error log can be useful at
times as well.

Here's my file:

port = 7010
clone-self = on
use-syslog = off
scaled-bitmaps = true
catalogue =
/usr/lib/X11/ncd/fonts/pcf/75dpi/,
/usr/lib/X11/ncd/fonts/pcf/misc/,
/usr/lib/X11/ncd/fonts/pcf/100dpi/,
/usr/lib/X11/ncd/fonts/pcf/dw75dpi/,
/usr/lib/X11/ncd/fonts/pcf/dw100dpi/,
/usr/lib/X11/ncd/fonts/pcf/wp/,
/usr/lib/X11/ncd/fonts/pcf/office/,
/usr/lib/X11/ncd/fonts/pcf/spc/,
/usr/lib/X11/ncd/fonts/pcf/spc2/,
/usr/lib/X11/ncd/fonts/pcf/lotus/

error-file = /usr/lib/X11/ncd/fs/fs-errors
error-method = file

According to my understanding, with the following settings, if the number
of clients connected to the fontserver exceeds 25, a new font-server is
forked to handle the extra clients. Is that right? If not, could someone
please explain what it means, and how to get this desired result.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
!Extract from font-server config file :

port = 7100 clone-self = yes clone-self = on use-syslog = on

client-limit = 25
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

We seem to have clients being denied access when the client limit is reached.
This causes problems for some applications.
