[Xastir] DBFAWK - Doin' it wrong?

[Chip Griffin]

It can’t be differences in monitor. We’re not talking minor color variances. We’re talking radical differences. We’re talking items showing up at zoom levels that they shouldn’t be showing. I copied the maps from computer 1 to computer 2. I copied the DBFAWK files from computer 1 to computer 2. They should match perfectly. Clearly there is something I’m overlooking.

I have that running on a Raspberry Pi in my kitchen displaying on a monitor (small TV) using a camera to turn off the screensaver whenever someone walks into the area. This way you only have to look and not directly interact with the RPi to see Xastir.

Then I started it up and verified operation. Then I shut it down and copied (SCP) the Tigermaps from RPi4 (the one in the kitchen). I also copied the DBFAWK files (SCP). Then I copied them into shared/xastir/maps and /shared/xastir/config respectively. I was able to restart and see the maps when selected, but the results of the DBFAWK are not equal. The colors are somewhat similar but the lines and labels in particular stand out as being different. [I have some screenshots but my recollection is that they are either not possible or not welcome on the list.]
