[comp.windows.open-look] Font problems in Open Windows

Hi netland,
	I am having some troubles running an X11R4 client under Open Windows.
It is compiled under Sun OS 4.1, MIT X11R4 patchlevel 14, using the MIT
Xlib.  There is no toolkits involved.  The problem is: when I popup
dialog boxes in Open Windows, some of the fields in the dialog boxes
don't line up.  I suspect this is true because of the way we handle our
fonts.  Our dialog boxes get thier placing information from  the size of
our dialog box fonts.  The we use under both Open Windows and X11R4 is
-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--14-140-75-75-m-90-iso8859-1

Is there any major difference in the way fonts are implemented in Open
Windows that would cause such problems?  Any help would greatly be
appreciated.
