[comp.windows.x] X11R4 fonts under Open Windows

wds@uarthur.UUCP (William D. Sheppard) (07/24/90)

I'm trying to get X11R4 fonts to work with Sun's
Open Windows. I can't get Open Win to find the fonts
now matter what I set the font path to ( using FONTPATH
or using xset). I know the fonts are OK because I have
no problem running useing the standard X server built
from the MIT distribution tapes.

Anyone have a suggestion ?

You must recompile the .bdf files of the X11R4 fonts into Sun's binary
format, using the OpenWindows font compiler program "convertfont".  You
must then run the OpenWindows font directory indexer, "bldfamily",  in each
font directory.
