Dear all,
Two maybe related problems appearded with stata8 graphs on debian linux
sid (at least in my case).
First, Stata8 graphs are generally not able to display German Umlaute,
though X devices called by other programs (e.g. R) can do so perfectly
well.
Second, whenever I try to open the graph preference the current instance
of Stata8 is killed.
I already changed manually the graph font in ~/.stata8/:0.0/stata8rc to
-*-times-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1 but without any effect. I
also completely re-installed the XFree86 packages as well as Stata8. Again
without any effect.
Even more confusing is that my result window is able to display Umlaute
and special characters!
Any hint or help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Lutz
