- You are right of course. I don't use the "xset" command for Suns (but
- I do for Dec/Ultrix; my hacked "startx" script has a case statement
- keying off architecture...). However, the lucida fonts included with
- X11R5 seem to make most OW applications happy. "xset -q" reveals that
- I have the following in my default font path:
-
- /local/X11R5/lib/X11/fonts/misc/
- /local/X11R5/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/
- /local/X11R5/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/
- /local/X11R5/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/
-
- Presumably this built-in font path is a reflection of the way X11R5
- was installed here.
