Without the expected fonts, fundamental graphical content like icons goes missing, and the X server may fail to start, at that. XXX I tested on NetBSD 9.2_STABLE amd64 and i386. On amd64, this crashes the X server for me, while it works fine on i386. The package was already marked not for Alpha, so that may be a clue that it's not 64-bit clean in general, though some of the original commentary about Alpha sounded quite specific.

What Is XView
|
|
-------------
|
|
XView (X Window-System-based Visual/Integrated Environment for
|
|
Workstations) is a user-interface toolkit to support interactive,
|
|
graphics-based applications running under the X Window System. XView
|
|
provides a set of pre-built, user-interface objects such as canvases,
|
|
scrollbars, menus, and control panels. The appearance and functionality
|
|
of these objects follow the OPEN LOOK Graphical User Interface (GUI)
|
|
specification. XView features an object-oriented style Application
|
|
Programmer's Interface (API) that is straightforward and easy to learn.
|
|
|
|
This package does not contain anything by itself -- it is a "meta-package"
|
|
that depends on other XView packages. Its sole purpose is to require
|
|
dependencies so users can install this package only and have all the XView
|
|
stuff pulled in by the package dependency mechanism.
|
|
|
|
Note that fonts from fonts/font-sun-misc must be in your X server's font
|
|
path in order for any XView clients to be usable.
