All the basic OPEN LOOK fonts are available with the XView
distribution from MIT. I advise that you get these fonts and install
them in your X11 font directory. A number of applications from Sun
makes use of additional fonts (odd sizes). The calendar Manager is
notorious here.

Several people around here use twm with both X11R4 (MIT server) and
Open Windows 2.0 with no problems.
