Are the X fonts byte order dependent? If so, is there a
conversion program to convert back and forth from Sun to
Vax byte order?

Servers will have converters for generating the appropriate "compiled" version of the font for that particular server. Jim Fulton MIT X Consortium

You should recompile the fonts for the Sun or the Vax, creating new ".snf" fonts from the ".bdf" definitions. The ".bdf" are from the dist- ribution tape. Also, there was a program around that converted the ".onx" from the X11 distribution to the ".bdf" needed for X11. It should be in the archives. -Jim Becker
