DECwindows on Sun w/s

[Robert Evans]

In order to experiment with DECwindows, I'm trying to run it on a Sun 3/60
workstation.  I run the OpenWindows (2.0) server on the Sun and invoke a local
xterm as the console and run a dxsession client from a VAX 8350.  (We don't
have any DECstations yet).

This works and I can start DECwindows clients from the dxsession (and
OpenWindows clients from the local console).

However, I'm having some trouble with fonts.  First, many dx clients
(including dxterm) complain of a missing font:

X Toolkit Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-MENU-MEDIUM-R-Normal--*-120-*-*-P-*-ISO8859-1" type fontlist, using fixed font

and, worse, dxue is unusable because its lists of filenames overlap and are
unreadable (I guess this is a font problem).

I know DECwindows uses strange fonts and I've copied over
DECwindows_on_X11R4_font.aliases and put them in fonts.alias but this makes
no difference.

Does anyone know what I should do to solve these problems?  Does DECwindows
work correctly on a generic X11r4 Xterminal (with the additional fonts.alias),
ie. is this an OpenWindows problem?

Thanks
