[comp.windows.x] running xview clients on non-sun servers

apollo@ecf.toronto.edu (Vince Pugliese) (04/03/91)

a first attempt to running xview clients on an apollo
proved to be unsucessful as the clients were unable to find
the appropriate fonts.  no big surprise, right?
my question to the x(view)perts out there is what is the fix in order
to get the right font description to the clients. 
should one link back to the openwin fonts and play with the fonts.alias
file??
or, should one just copy over the fonts directory??

please post or mail as you see fit.
thanks in advance

p.s. by the way the apollos are running an r3 server; the openwindows(2.0)
stuff is running on an SS2.
