#                               HELP !!!
#
#
#
#    I am using the SUN station through the X-terminal software of
#
#MULTINET (V 3.1) on the VAX workstation ( VAX 4000/60. VMS 5.5. MOTIF). 
#
#I didn't success to use all SUN applications on the VAX X-terminal software
#
#because of the absence of SUN openwin fonts on the VAX. I tried to convert 
#
#some of SUN fonts ( olcursor.fb, olglyph10.fb, olglyph12.fb, olglyph14.fb,   
#
#olglyph19.fb) to BDF format, then I compiled these fonts on the VAX.
#
#But still SUN applications fail to load fonts. It seems, that 
#
#fonts alias name are wrong. What are the aliases for these fonts ?
#
#What is the right order to install these fonts on the VAX workstation.
#
#Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
#

You must do the following after compiling them.

	1) Copy the .decw$font files to SYS$COMMON:[SYSFONT.DECW.USER_75DPI]
	2) Run @SYS$UPDATE:DECW$MKFONTDIR.COM
	3) Either restart the X server on the VAX or use the XSET utility
	   provided in DECW$UTILS: and tell the server to rehash its font
	   path.
