I'm sorry if this article is not of relevance to this newsgroup as I couldn't
find a better one.
I have some applications developed in Sun OS 4.1 OSF/motif 1.0 (X11R4) which
I transferred to DEC ULTRIX 4.1 running DEC Windows/motif 1.0 (X11R3). The
application has some text trims, boxes etc. There seems to be a big mismatch
with text trims and boxes when it runs on X11R3. I suspect the reason could be
of different font libraries in X11R4 and X11R3. Can someone colud advice/suggest
me a way to get rid of the problem.

Throw out X11R3 (I don't understand why that is still being supplied) and install X11R4 from mit which is available free, has ultrix 3.1 support and does not have the terrible dx.. dec specific programs. The only thing you have to change for ultrix 4.1 is the location of two include files in the server code (easy to find) and fill in a macro omitting the (int) typecast which would otherwise appear on the lhs of -- Peter Mutsaers email: muts@fysap.fys.ruu.nl Rijksuniversiteit Utrecht muts@fys.ruu.nl Princetonplein 5 tel: (+31)-(0)30-533880 3584 CG Utrecht, Netherlands

The DEC servers use a different font format than the MIT servers (pcf vs. snf), so if you have fonts you need to move, the easiest way is to get the bdf font format files and 1) use them with the DEC server, or 2) convert the bdf to pcf with dxfc (and make sure to run mkfontdir so the server sees them). I believe there are some utilities on export.lcs.mit.edu to convert snf fonts back to bdf if you don't have bdf files for the fonts.
