[comp.windows.x] X11r3 Fonts on X11r2 Server ????

rhc@nsscb.UUCP (Rick Calder) (08/17/89)

	Prob: trying to run xtroff, can't get screen fonts correct

	I have:
		AT&T 6386, UNIX V/386, 3.2.1
		OpenLook - X11r2 server
		X11r3 toolkit, HP widgets - no problem here
		xtroff - X portion is fine, all windows/popups ok

	I have tried:
		a) using X11r3 bdftosnf on X11r3 fonts
			xfd displays scrambled font characters
		b) using X11r2 fc on X11r3 fonts
			xfd displays blank font characters
		Both of the above where done manually, not with the xtroff
			modifications. If xfd can't display them, how can I
			expect xtroff to ?

	My questions:
		a) Are they backwardly compatable ?
		b) What changes do I have to make to the X11r3 bdf fonts to
get them to display correctly ?

		Thanks in advance ! ! !
