Take the VMS file SYS$COMMON:[SYSHLP.EXAMPLES.DECW]FONTS.ALIAS in the
fonts directory on the ELC. It will convert almost all the fancy VMS
fonts into standard X11 ones. Just copy it as fonts.alias (in $FONTPATH)
and restart your server (or xset fp default).

No, but you can use LSE/INTERFACE=DECW. This will enable the mouse + the
menu bar. If someone can tell me how to enable the numeric keypad, it'll
be very appreciated.
