[comp.windows.open-look] bldfamily problems?

kalt@nmsu.edu (Kerry Alt) (06/17/91)

I'm not sure this is a bldfamily problem, but maybe someone has seen
this before:

I'm trying to get xtex to run under openwins, and I can't get the xtex
fonts built. I got the bdf fonts from the xtex site and ran their
script to get .fb fonts. So far so good. But when I run bldfamily, all
the .fb fonts get converted to fonts with a ..ff extexsion. I've gone
through this twice now with the same result, and tried renaming the
..ff fonts to .ff and fixing the Families file in
$OPENWINHOME/lib/fonts but all to no avail. 

Has anyone out there seen this? Can anyone help? Are fonts really a
goverment plot to enslave the populace? 

Hoping for salvation,

Kerry
