Well.. I'm not sure anymore just how I did fix this... except that
there is something really quite odd about the fonts and the fontpath
and having the PEX fonts in the fontpath and knowing that they were
indeed called
Roman.phont Roman_M.phont
I found the fontpath a very tricky definition. I had to set it to
just /usr/local/X11/lib/fonts... and not
/usr/local/X11/lib/fonts/misc:/usr/local/X11/lib/fonts/PEX ... etc
like a usual path sort of variable...
ANd of course I had many more troubles with this thing.. the sun3
running as a X-terminal of sorts.. But it is up and running. It
could use a bit more tweeking.. but there are so many things that
one could do...
I offer great thanks to both
David Wiseman <magi@csd.uwo.ca>
GLYNN PETER ROBINSON <GROBINSON@PORTIA.UMDS.LON.AC.UK>
for excellent tips... and of course to
Seth Robertson <seth@ctr.columbia.edu>
for his grand help
