Hi I am trying to use info-explorer from a Personal IRIS. I either use info -g -display P_Iris_name or I open an xterm to the Personal Iris from where I just type info. I had a lot of problems, because all windows will open up properly, but no text could be found. I finally traced this to the fact that the info uses Andrew fonts and that the /usr/lpp/info/X11fonts/fonts.alias file had the necessary aliases that one needs. I added them in the format the SGI requires to the /usr/NeWS/fonts/fmaliases and restarted the X-server. Now, most of the fonts are appearing properly, but those that should appear in the little rectangles at the bottom of the windows are not appearing properly. As far as I know, my fmaliases file contains all entries that appear in /usr/lpp/info/X11fonts/fonts.alias and mapped to the available fonts on the Personal Iris. If anyone else has done this or has any clue on what exactly are the equivalent Postscript fonts that are used by info please let us know. Thanks. Ravi
