[comp.windows.x] MIT fonts and the DEC server

martha@cs.umass.edu (Martha DasSarma) (09/25/90)

	On a DECstation 500 I have installed the DEC server and
	the MIT clients. So far we been using the DEC fonts.
	However, we would like to install the MIT fonts. My 
	questions are:
	1. Can I install the MIT 100dpi, 75dpi, and misc fonts
	   on a machine that is running the DEC server?
	2. What are the commands that I need to use? mkfontdir
	   and bdftopcf do not seem to be the right commands 
	   to accomplish the font convertion.
	3. Would the DEC 100dpi fonts conflict in any way with the
	   MIT 100dpi? Can they coexist on the same machine?

	Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.

Look at dxmkfontdir and dxfc for installing and compiling fonts.  You
don't have to compile them, the DECstation servers can read BDF
format.  The UWS release notes discuss conventions and methods for font
paths and directories.
