To run image tool 

Get onto a Solaris system
 
setenv OPENWINHOME /usr/openwin

Get fonts set up 
  You will need special fonts to run imagetool.
Put these fonts second in your font path right
after built-ins; putting them last will not
work.

The fonts you will need are the following. 

myhost% ls
OLCursor46.pcf          fonts.alias
Solaris_fonts.tar       fonts.dir


Then just type in imagetool

myhost% imagetool


                    *************

  Errors resulting from not having the fonts set 
properly.

The image will flash up real fast then the application
will shut down. This results from not having the above
mentioned fonts or putting them in the wrong place.

If you do not have the fonts then you  will get the
following error message at the command line.

myhost% imagetool
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  94 (X_CreateGlyphCursor)
Minor opcode of failed request:  0
Resource id in failed request:  0xc
Serial number of failed request:  1869
Current serial number in output stream:  1873
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  94 (X_CreateGlyphCursor)
  Value in failed request:  0xc
  Serial number of failed request:  1869
  Current serial number in output stream:  1872
myhost% 

If you have the fonts, but have them last in your
font path you will still get the same error as 
follows. 

myhost% imagetool
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  94 (X_CreateGlyphCursor)
Minor opcode of failed request:  0

          ************

  Errors surrounding the setting of the OPENWINHOME
     environment variable

If the OPENWINHOME environment variable is 
not set or is set to the wrong directory then
the following errors will result.

imagetool will come up and display a main 
menu.  Then click on the file button and 
a popout menu, called Image Tool Open
will come out. Then you choose the directory
such as /usr/openwin/share/images/PostScript
Now when you try to open this image the following
error message will appear at the bottom up
the main menu. 

File format not found. Use Open As option to choose file for

Then if you use Open As you get another error message:

Error opening /usr/openwin/share/images/PostScript/butterfly.ps

Now exit the applicatoin and reset the OPENWINHOME
environment variable. Now the application will work.
If you try to set the OPENWINHOME environment variable
while the imagetool application is still running then
you will continue to get the same error, so it is
necessary to exit the imagetool application, set
the OPENWINHOME environment variable properly, then
restart the imagetool application.
