ola,
both of your problems are very independent..
- first problem is that pdp_xv doesn't exist on OSX,
use pdp_glx instead and don't forget to launch the X server before creating this window, if this doesn't work, i don't know why..
- second problem ( the font problem )
is that you need the default font that pidip uses which is helmetr.tff and that the 'make install' in pidip should install.. you can get this font in the /fonts directory in pidip : http://ydegoyon.free.fr/pidip-0.12.20.tar.gz
suerte, sevy

Hello I'm trying to use pdp in os x 10.4.7 with pd-extended 0.39.2 (hc's version).
My goal is to create a simple video window using pdp_xv, but I'm met with the error:
pdp_xv: autocreate window pdp_xv: cant open display :0
same with pdp_glx.
Here are more details about my situation:
I needed to install x11 from the Tiger cd. This solved the missing library problems. X11 now says it is "X11 1.1.1 - XFree86 4.4.0"
I launched pd-extended by 1) clickin on it, and 2) from the xterm window via "open Pd-extended.app". The problem is the same either way.
PD launches with the smallest of complaints, notably:
pdp_text : severe error : could not load default font : no rendering !!!
I found some source code floating around. It seems that the error comes from this method:
imlib_add_path_to_font_path("/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF"); font = imlib_load_font(DEFAULT_FONT); if ( !font ) { post( "pdp_text : severe error : could not load default font : no rendering !!!" ); } imlib_context_set_font( font );
I found the code in a google cache, so I don't know if it's current or what: http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:V-rLTO-hUmcJ:cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcv...
Anyhow, all that to say that I went to that directory, and there are a number of .TTF files in it. For some reason DEFAULT_FONT is returning null.
So my question again: How can I get pdp_xv to work on os x? Is the message "no rendering !!!" linked to my problem?
I can create windows with GEM, but pdp falls on my desk.
Any ideas?
Thanks! Daniel.
