[comp.windows.x] X Font Editor?

amir@taux01.nsc.com (Amir J. Katz (Xpert)) (05/09/91)

Is there an interactive font editor under X, similar to SunView 'fontedit' ?
Someone told me to look for 'xfed' under X11R4 tape 'contrib' part, but there
is nothing there.
Also, there is a directory under mit/doc called BDF and in it a file called 
'bdf.mss'. How can one print it? It's not 'nroff -ms', so what is it?

-- TIA,

    Someone told me to look for 'xfed' under X11R4 tape 'contrib' part, but there

The exact directory is "contrib/clients/xfed", and it is on tape 2 (of 4)
of the Release 4 distribution.  Trust me.

    Also, there is a directory under mit/doc called BDF and in it a file called 
    'bdf.mss'. How can one print it? It's not 'nroff -ms', so what is it?

".mss" is the suffix for Scribe source, so this file is not very useful.
Instead, use mit/hardcopy/BDF/BDF.PS, which is a PostScript version of
the same paper.
