- The standard 5.1 build seems to want to install ".snf" and maybe ".pcf"
- fonts in "$ANDREWDIR/X11fonts", but wants to install X11/NeWS server
- fonts in "$ANDREWDIR/Xnewsfonts".
-
- Unfortunately, the standard 5.1 "xim.c" wants to add
- "$ANDREWDIR/X11fonts", but not "$ANDREWDIR/Xnewsfonts", to the font
- path.
-
- This means that, by default, ATK applications don't get Andrew fonts
- when fired up against an Open Windows server.
-
- Is there any reason why the X11/NeWS server fonts shouldn't go into
- "$ANDREWDIR/X11fonts" as well? (That was how I fixed the problem here.)
-
- Changing "xim.c" to add "$ANDREWDIR/Xnewsfonts" if built for OW would
- make it less likely that the binaries would run against another
- server, so I don't think *that's* the right solution.
