Solution 1:

If CDE is being used as a windows manager, try solution 2015. Debugging should be silimar to that f or Solaris and M1.



Solution 2:

Xact 5.2.1 is not supported for HP-UX 10.xx. The last
supported platform was HP-UX 9.05. HP-UX 10.xx now uses a
dt-term translation table as opposed to HP term translation
table in 9.05.

This points to a FONT issue with HP-UX 10.xx. The user can provide the
missing translations which are available in $XACT/data/lib5/XKeysymDB

setenv XKEYSYMDB $XACT/data/lib5/XKeysymDB

If that does not solve the issue, concatenate the $XACT/data/lib5/XKeysymDB
file to the top of the one in /usr/lib/X11/XKeysymDB
Order is important. $XACT/data/lib5/XKeysymDB should be appended to
the top of /usr/lib/X11/XkeysymDB

If you do not have root permissions, you can perform the following steps:

% cp $XACT/data/lib5/XKeysymDB ~

This will copy the XKeysymDB to home directory

% chmod 644 ~/XKeysymDB

This will make the file writeable

% cat /usr/lib/X11/XkeysymDB >> ~/XKeysymDB

% setenv XKEYSYMDB $HOME/XKeysymDB

Now, envoke fplan.
