[comp.unix.aix] Need help with X-windowing fonts

acyoung@rodan.acs.syr.edu (young) (05/30/90)

	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.

 I realize this means can't find fonts.  but, can anyone point me in the right
 direction?  I'd appreciate it.  Thanks.
