Hi
I'm having a rather frustrating time trying to get a PC based
X Server (XVision from Visionware) running with our applications.
I have had some success with a few applications - largely due to
a comprehensive fonts.alias file found elsewhere in this
conference. I still have problems with dxterm and decwrite bl2 because
of their expectations of DEC font availability.
XVision has the ability to take on new fonts in bdf format which
I think would solve the majority of my problems.
Does anyone know where I can get hold of the fonts that dxterm
and decwrite need in .bdf format?
Regards
Andrew Moore

| 3223.1 | Get the MIT X11 R4 tape | STAR::VATNE | Peter Vatne, VMS Development | Fri Aug 17 1990 15:59 | 4 |
The MIT X11 R4 tape has all the fonts needed to work with the fonts.alias file. They are distributed in BDF format. Perhaps someone else can point him to an on-line copy of the R4 tape? | |||||

DECwrite V1.1 also ships the BDF's needed for the equation editor.

In answer to my own question!!!
The MIT X11 R4 tapes - which contain .bdf format fonts - are on
two nodes:
decwrl
decuk
- both Ultrix systems.
Look in the file decwrl::/pub/X11/R4/README for information about
how to copy the tapes and build a system.
