I am trying to get DXTerm running when I remotely log into a DECstation from my RT. I am not very familiar with how all this fonts stuff works so I am throwing it out to the net. It appears that the required fonts just aren't found. My questions are: 1. who is looking for them? The DecStation or my RT? 2. Does this have anything to do with converting VRM fonts to rtx format? If so how do you figure out the conversion. The user guide (RT X-windows) doesn't do a great job at explaining how to convert vrm2rtx. 3. Do I need to have anything specific in my .Xdefaults file? Here is a log of what happens and what errors I get when I log into the DECStation and when I run dxterm. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- login: aaron Password: Last login: Tue May 29 14:04:32 from sunrise.acs.syr.
