- Ok, i've had a look, the only problem is that the xhextris distribution
- I picked up (which is on alot of contrib anon/ftp sites, supports the
- .snf fonts styles, for use on SunOS etc machine, whereas linux uses .pcf
- fonts. But the makefile/header.h file do NOT have provision for using the
- .pcf fonts apart from some mention of "BDFTOPCF = bdftopcf" blah blah blah.
- But, it doesnt actually use the pcf font even when i create it and put it in
- the correct place. It still reports that it cant open the font.
-
- Anyone else made it work?
