Follow Philip's steps to obtain the font files lg165.bdf
and sm165.bdf
from your logic analyzer.
I was able to do this over FTP, but not through the Finder. I installed the command-line ftp
utility
with brew install tnftp
.
After you have the fonts converted to .pcf.gz
files, this is where the paths diverge. (pun intended)
Instead of /usr/share/fonts
, use /opt/X11/lib/X11/fonts/
.
Next, instead of editing xorg.conf
, edit the file /opt/X11/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/10-fontdir.sh
and add
the font path to the fontpath=
declaration on line 2.
Also add this directory to the catalogue =
definition in /opt/X11/lib/X11/fs/config
. (I don't know if this is
required but it didn't hurt)
Restart XQuartz and go to Preferences > Security. Uncheck Authenticate connections
and check Allow connections from network clients
. Ah, those were the days.
Now, restart XQuartz. I don't think this setting takes effect without a restart.
Open an xterm and run xhost +<ip address of the logic analyzer>
.
On the logic analyzer, go to X-Window Settings, and set Remote Display Internet (IP) Address
to your Mac's IP address.
(hold Option and click the Wi-Fi icon in the menu bar)
Then hit Connect
on the logic analyzer. You should now see a window pop up on your Mac with the logic analyzer interface.
