Utility Bugs

Solaris-specific bugs

• The 8-bit TrueColor colormap may not be loaded on an 8-bit frame buffer running CDE
• This isn't Java3D-specific, but warnings of the following form occur on some Solaris 2.5.1 and some Solaris 2.6 systems when running any Java program with JDK1.2.
  Font specified in font.properties not found
[-b&h-lucida sans-medium-r-normal-sans-*-%d-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1]
Font specified in font.properties not found
[-b&h-lucida sans-medium-i-normal-sans-*-%d-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1]
...
  This problem can be fixed by installing the optional ISO font package SUNWi1of.

Windows-specific bugs

• Bug in Symantec JIT causes the GearBox example to render incorrectly.
• Symantec JIT issues warning when running FourByFour example
• PureImmediate mode does not work after paint() event on Win95 with ogl
