Perhaps someone in the know can help me with an X11R3 vs Sun question. In servers/ddx/sun the README says to make sure that the fonts/Makefile invokes the compiler with the -p4 flag. If this is the case, why not define FontCompilerFlags in util/imake.includes/Sun.macros? Isn't that just what we have all these imakefiles running around for? I read the README as suggesting that I edit the makefile by hand, but am put off by the makefile, which says not to. -- Scott Schwartz <schwartz@shire.cs.psu.edu>

Ignore the instructions in the ddx/sun directory about fiddling the font padding. I don't think those instructions have been updated since 11R2, and if you poke around in the font compiler sources, you'll see that there's a dot-h file somewhere that has the right constants #ifdef sun. I have 11R3 up on our Sun-3s (the core was no muss, no fuss -- definitely high on my list of favorite software items to install), and I didn't hack the Makefile. I can read my fonts, too, which wasn't true when I *didn't* hack the Makefile in 11R2... -Steve Spoken: Steve Miller Domain: steve@mimsy.umd.edu UUCP: uunet!mimsy!steve Phone: +1-301-454-1808 USPS: UMIACS, Univ. of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742

The README is old. There should be no need to change the distribution to build on Suns.

If this is the case, why not In R2 the appropriate padding for Suns is the default for fc, so you don't need to worry about it. R3 too, probably. Greg, lee@uhccux.uhcc.hawaii.edu
