[comp.windows.x] font troubles

I've been trying to get xtrek to run over the network to a vaxstation.
I can run many things this way including xterm, xfig etc... but xtrek is
peculiar in wanting to load a font that came with its distribution.
It runs find on the sun/3 where it is installed but it won't run on the
vaxstation because it complains that it can't load the xtrek font.  I
compiled it on the vaxstation and get the same result.  I've tried hacking
the font path using xset using every combination of directories I could think
of.  The problem is that the xtrek font can't be located in the standard place
on the vaxstation but must be in the xtrek library directory (it's located 
there on the sun and the vaxstation).

Any suggestions?  the vaxstation is running ultrix 2.3 and I don't know
the patch level of the X11 server on it.
