Return to KNOWN.BUGS CVS log

Updated makefile and documentation.

The problems described below occur on Linux platforms we tested. Note that some
of these may be due to older versions of other libraries, i.e. LessTif or Mesa.

1. Applications which depend on overlay planes will not work because the
   current OpenGL drivers on the SGI Visual Workstations 230, 330, and 550
   (http://www.sgi.com/workstations) do not support this feature.

2. Font capabilities used by SoAsciiText and SoText[23] are currently provided
   by libFL.a. On IRIX, libFL.so is provided in the eoe.sw.gfx and eoe.sw64.gfx
   subsystems. A version of libFL.a compiled for SunOS 5.8 is available in the
   FTP download area. No other platforms are currently supported.

   Ang Bodhi (bodhi@pacific.net.sg) has written some code that uses the
   FreeType library to provide support for fonts (yet to be reviewed and
   integrated into the CVS repository). For a preview, see

     http://www.geocities.com/angbodhi/download/

3. SoText2 bitmaps are rendered with many pixels missing when using libFL on
   Linux i386 (reported in Bug 5).

4. Arrowhead cones in transformer dragger appear squished. This occurs on IRIX
   and Linux.

5. When selecting hidden-line view in viewers, the following error is printed
   for models with colors specified in arrays:

     Inventor error in SoIndexedShape(): material index n is out of range 0 - 1

   This occurs on IRIX and Linux.

6. SceneViewer crashes when loading temple.iv (binary format). This occurs
   with Lesstif 0.91.4, but not 0.90.0 (see Bug 2).
