Using EDM

About EDM

The edm directory under EDS installation contains:

  • com (scripts and jar files)

  • config (configuration file)

If you are running EDM from an UNIX emulation window, you are to use Exceed 7.x or higher in the Native/Default to Native modes.

Known Problems with Exceed 7: Exceed does not handle window coordinates correctly. The Installer page and related installer dialogs and configuration assistants can have display problems when run through the emulator. If Exceed causes display problems, then exit the entire X Window session and start a new session.

This task explains how to resolve font display problems:
  1. Select the xconfig application under the Exceed Program Group from the Windows Start menu.

  2. Select the Font applet.

  3. Click Font Database in the Font Settings dialog box.

  4. Clear selection of the Automatic Font Substitution option in the Font Database dialog.

  5. Click Add.

    The Add Font directory appears.

  6. Click Server in the Add Font Directory dialog box.

  7. Type the host name for your machine in the Host Name field in the Add Font Server dialog.

  8. Click OK.

  9. Click Close to save the settings.

Starting EDM
