So let me make sure I understand you... you're opening X11 first and then launching Pd/pdp? X11 *does* need to be open for the window to be created. I think you're supposed to use pdp_glx anyway last time I checked, but I am definitely not the most knowledgable source :)

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