- I'm trying to use my VAXstation as an Xwindows server for a non-VMS client.
- Naturally, the client is asking for fonts I don't have. Given VMS v5.4-3 and
- DECwindows 2.0, is there a way to map the requested fonts to the available
- fonts? I tried creating DECW$FONTS:FONTS.ALIAS (as per the file in
- DECW$EXAMPLES:) but no luck. I also tried DECW$FONT_ALIAS_FILENAMES.DAT (which
- I think is actually for MOTIF which I haven't installed yet) but it didn't work
- either.
-
- I have instructions for generating the missing fonts, but I thought I'd rather
- just map the fonts (due to space considerations).
-
- Thanks in advance.
- Dave
