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. -Jim Becker
