From: HANSEN@PSI%SCR601@MRGATE@SNDRTR To: "xpert%expo.lcs.mit.edu"@M_CSNET@MRGATE@SNDRTR Two weeks ago I asked on the net how to work around the problem I had when I tried to display DECWindows applications running on a VAX on my Sparc 1 running OpenWindows, when the applications would either crash or give error messages when starting up because they couldn't find the correct fonts. The two answers I got did indeed solve my problem, and I thought other people could be interested in how this is done: STEP 1: Get the DECWindows_on_X11R4_font.alias file from export.lcs.mit.edu (18.30.0.238) and add this to the alias file. STEP 2: Add the following fonts to the Synonyms.list file (with current directory "/usr/openwin/lib/fonts"): (-bigelow & holmes-menu-medium-r-normal--13-100-100-100-p-77-iso8859-1) /Helvetica-Bold _FontDirectorySYN (-bigelow & holmes-menu-medium-r-normal--16-120-100-100-p-92-iso8859-1) /Helvetica-Bold _FontDirectorySYN and rebuild the file running "/usr/openwin/bin/bldfamily" 1001 thanks to Alfredo De Regil Salinas and Ken Lee for their help.
