I'm not an Xpert (yet), but this appears to be true. You should 
recompile the fonts for the Sun or the Vax, creating new  ".snf"
fonts from the ".bdf" definitions. The ".bdf" are from the dist-
ribution tape. 

Also, there was a program around that converted the ".onx" from
the X11 distribution to the ".bdf" needed for X11. It should be 
in the archives.
