In articles <23656@bu-cs.BU.EDU> and 
<19880707121730.7.RWS@KILLINGTON.LCS.MIT.EDU>,  Barry Schein and Robert
Scheifler talk about the (non)-availability of scalable fonts in X.

I'm porting an application running on Sun 3's from SunCGI to X.  The program
currently takes advantage of CGI's ability to scale fonts.  

From the articles referred to above, and from reading the Xlib
manual, I gather that scalable fonts aren't available in the current MIT
X distribution.

Did I get this right, or am I missing something ?

As usual, any info will be greatly appreciated.
