I am trying to run a programme which is using PGPLOT.When I call it from browser I get following error message. -------- %PGPLOT, Unable to read font file: grfont.dat %PGPLOT, Use environment variable PGPLOT_FONT to specify the location of the PGPLOT grfont.dat file. %PGPLOT, PGENV: no graphics device has been selected %PGPLOT, PGBBUF: no graphics device has been selected %PGPLOT, PGMTXT: no graphics device has been selected %PGPLOT, PGMTXT: no graphics device has been selected %PGPLOT, PGMTXT: no graphics device has been selected %PGPLOT, PGEBUF: no graphics device has been selected ---------- grfont.dat file is on on my system under c:\XAMPP\perl\lib and I have set it as enviorment variable PGPLOT_FONT. I even added $ENV{PGPLOT_FONT} ||= 'c:\XAMPP\perl\lib\grfont.dat'; to my script. But still it gives same error. But if I run it from command line.There is no error. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks,

But if I run it from command line.There is no error. Compare the enviroments and permissions, and figure out what is different.	[reply]

Try putting the $ENV{PGPLOT_FONT} \|\|= 'c:\XAMPP\perl\lib\grfont.dat' in a BEGIN BLOCK before the use PGPLOT statement. `BEGIN {$ENV{PGPLOT_FONT} \|\|= 'c:\XAMPP\perl\lib\grfont.dat'}; use PGPLOT;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
