[comp.windows.x] R4 clients, R3 server

reed@olympus.princeton.EDU (Michael J. Reed) (12/15/90)

We were given (I wouldn't have bought it) a Sony News 1850 that comes with
X11R3.  We are trying to integrate it into our existing network on Suns
which have X11R4 intstalled.  It appears that certain R4 applications
(xtex, xtrek) which have their own fonts, won't run correctly on the
R3 server.   The fonts are either garbled (xtex) or the wrong characters
are used (xtrek).  Is there an easy work around for this?

By the way, does the server code for R4 exist for the Sony?
