Are the OpenWindows fonts different between the sun3 and sun4 architecture, and if yes, why so (no byte swapping or structure alignment should be necessarily different)? I would simple like to share fonts for both machines, not only to save space, but only to make installation of new fonts easyer in a mixed sun[34] environment. -- Toerless Eckert | /C=de/A=dbp/P=uni-erlangen/OU=informatik/S=eckert V.4: Noah's ark of Unix | X.400 ^ Internet> eckert@informatik.uni-erlangen.de

Yes, you can share fonts between sun3 and sun4 . At least it works ok in out
installation. I have now idea how 386i works.
I don't know why the default installation does not share them (like it
shares some other parts).

And why the hell are the binary font files of the OW 2.0 sun3/sun4
distributions different ? (Inquiring minds want to be sure before
removing one set of fonts...).
