- I have built X11R5 on a SPARCstation, but would not call the success
- "extremly good", because I encountered problems with the font server. It
- likes to crash when trying to render a non-ISO8859 Type-1 font. (Sorry, I
- can't be more specific - otherwise I would file a bug report.) The rest of
- the gcc 2.2.2 compiled X11R5 seems to run fine.
