[comp.soft-sys.andrew] fonts on hp300

Hello.  I just spent 5 days building the andrew distribution on my hp 320
only to find that the fonts didn't come out right.  The fonts look right
with xfd, but when I try to start up an xterm with one of the andrew fonts
(ie, "xterm -fn andytype10f"), I get the curious effect of _no_ lower case
characters!  I also get a problem with the fonts in the menus so that the
work-around mentioned in the build docs (set *.bodyfont preference to some
X font) doesn't help much.

Any ideas?

Thanks for any help,

There is a bug in Sun's OpenWindows font compiler that causes no lower case
letters to be seen in the Andrew fonts.  Perhaps the same problem is in the H-P
font compiler?

Does this imply that the fonts might work on an hp300 running X11R4?
Has anyone tried building the andrew stuff on a 300 running R4?

Just wondering.
