Summary: Scalable fonts and file selector

Initial Comment:
When using a scalable font for the GUI, the 
file selector make xdvi abort with the following 
error:

xdvi.c:2494: CLIENT: Atom(XDVI WINDOWS) 
= 461
xdvi.c:2494: CLIENT: Atom(DVI NAME) = 462
xdvi.c:2494: CLIENT: Atom(SRC GOTO) = 463
Error: Widget selFileMask has zero width 
and/or height

To reproduce that, try setting the following 
resource:

TransientShell*selFileForm*Font:
-*-arial-medium-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15

Changing that as follows avoids the problem:

TransientShell*selFileForm*Font: 
-*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15

This version of Arial is a scalabe TT, 
Helvetica is a bitmap font.

The problem will affect the file selector only, 
the other components of the GUI do not suffer 
from that.

I can reproduce that with 22.40g and 
22.55-cvs6.

hmm, I've now been able to get hold of an Arial TT version,
and installed it on my X; but unfortunately I've been unable
to reproduce the selFileMask error! The file selector just
opens normally (and seems to display the correct font);
please see the attached screenshot. Again I've
inserted some GUI debugging code (see also screenshot) -
could you email me the output you get for `-debug GUI' with
your example?
FWIW, what's your XFree version (output of X -version - your
Linux distribution version might be useful as well ...)?
