[comp.soft-sys.andrew] Speckled Fonts on Andrew Console Monitor

rdew@alw.nih.gov (Bob Dew) (11/15/90)

     We've built andrew, patch level 7, on an IBM RT
running the UNIX 4.3 BSD operating system.  Everything
works and looks fine, except for the console monitor:
the fonts in the console window have a speckled appearance,
as if certain pixels aren't being turned on.  Window
fonts for all programs appear normally.  Has anybody else encountered
this problem?

If your monitor is a megapel, you should pick up the 'official' X11
fixes from MIT (ftp to expo.lcs.mit.edu, pick up the fixes under
pub/R4/fixes).  The person here who know's about mpels is away for a few
days, but  this may  help.
