Susan Bickford from sun straitened me out. It appears that I was
missing a step. Here is her response:
{From: susan.bickford@East.Sun.COM
{Subject: Re: convertfont + x3270 Re: Font aliases with OpenWindows?
{
{I don't have x3270 or the font, but I just took a random 14 pt. bdf file,
{named it "3270" in the bdf file itself and called it 3270.bdf and
{then converted it. Everything seems fine for me, so looking at your
{description more closely, it seems like maybe you skipped bldfamily.
{The process should be:
{
{1. convertfont
{2. bldfamily
{3. xset +fp `pwd` or xset fp rehash
{4. xlsfonts ...
{
{If you didn't skip bldfamily, you can send me the bdf file
{and I'll see what I can do. Convertfont is not without its bugs.
{(All fixed in the next release, of course :-)
{
I'd like to thank Susan again for her quick and correct response.

You also have to add COMMENT ENCODING UNKNOWN right after STARTFONT 2.1 since convertfont expects an ASCII type font encoding.... -- Jeff Sparkes jsparkes@bnr.ca Bell-Northern Research, Ottawa (613)765-2503 Another feature is that the seats float, so that the airline can recover them if the plane crashes into the ocean. -- Dave Barry
