I want to run the X11R4 server from MIT, but continue to run decwindows applications without complaints about missing fonts. Does someone have a .Xdefaults to do this? Or are you able to use the pcf fonts in some way? The idea is to minimize the disruption to users of dxcalendar, etc. Thanks -e -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eric Pearce eap@bu-pub.bu.edu Boston University Information Technology 111 Cummington Street, Boston MA 02215 617-353-2780 voice 617-353-6260 fax

We used this with our DecStations quite successfully. -- Kaleb Keithley Jet Propulsion Labs kaleb@thyme.jpl.nasa.gov Good girls get to go to heaven, but bad girls get to go everywhere!

A fonts.alias file to do this is in gatekeeper.dec.com:/pub/X11/contrib/Xdec_fonts.alias and expo.lcs.mit.edu:/contrib/Xdec_fonts.alias You can copy it with anonymous ftp. -- Ken Lee DEC Western Software Laboratory, Palo Alto, Calif.
