I am about to switch my users from X11R3 to X11R4. The main drawback, however, is that many folks are quite attached to the .scf fonts that came with HP's R3 distribution. R4 from MIT lacks many of these fonts. What are the prospects for regaining them soon? Will they come with 7.0? Is there a scf to snf converter? Are they gone with the wind? Thanks for any info. -- Gene Dykes, gdykes@tcgould.tn.cornell.edu

The HP compiled server can automatically handle both formats and also bdf formats. If you are using the vanilla version of X11R4 from MIT and want to use your scf fonts then you can simply uncompress them with uncompress *.scf or compress -d *.scf Hope this helps ! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thorvaldur Egill Sigurdsson | Internet: valdi@kerfi.hi.is Engineering Research Institute | ...mcvax!hafro!krafla!kerfi.hi.is!valdi University of ICELAND | Phone: 354-1-694699 Hjardarhagi 2-6 107 Reykjavik, ICELAND ------------------------------------------------------------------------

A scf font is just a snf font run through compress. Just uncompress to convert to snf. Or if you are using the HP binary from R4, I think it will take scf fonts. Karen Helt karen@hp-pcd.hp.com
