[comp.windows.x] Need BDF files - where to find????

Hi all!  This is my first post to this group so please excuse me if this
has been asked already or if this is a real simple question that I am asking.

My friend is trying to find BDF files so he can compile some fonts (He needs 
both 75dpi and 100dpi).  He has the SDF (or is it SNF?) files (I'm not 
real familiar with X so please forgive my ignorance) and says he
needs the BDF files in order to compile the fonts.  He needs them for
X11R4.  If any one can be of any assistance, I'd appreciate it if you
e-mail me.  Is there an ftp site I can get these from?  My friend has
asked around at his school, but no one seems to know where the BDF files
are located.

What is he trying to do?  He's running MacX on a Mac IIci and he's connecting
to an RS6000.  He's trying to run Wingz and is getting messages about not
finding Adobe fonts.  So he's trying to compile the fonts, but needs the BDF
files.  (Am I making any sense???????)  If someone can provide some insight
into this problem, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks in advance for any help.
