Actually, I like the DEC applications better without the DEC fonts.  I'm
running MIT X11R4 on my DECstation, with the DEC menu font aliased to
times_roman12.  All the DEC applications run (including the VAX/VMS ones
over DECnet), and I think they look better than they did when I was running
the DEC server with all the DEC fonts.
