[comp.windows.x] Fonts for Open Look

sberger@nmsu.edu ( Steve Berger ) (03/08/91)

We have a couple of new X terminals here, they are connecting
to a SUN SPARCstation 1+ and running the Open Look window manager.

I have a few demos that won't run, saying it can't open the proper
font for the buttons, or some such thing.


Is this a common problem?  How do I go about setting up fonts so 
that these things can use them.


I have the source for a bdftosnf conversion program that will take
BDF fonts and convert them to SNF fonts, which is what these
X terminals use.  Are the fonts that come with Open Windows BDF fonts??

Can they just be converted over?


I have no clue what to do about this.  Any information would
be very helpful.
