We currently have Xtroff working on a Sun in-house.  We would like to
move this onto DECwindows (since most of us using troff are under Ultrix).

There seems to be some problems with fonts, however. Even after re-installing
the fonts (and I believe) re-compiling them, xtroff crashes the DECWindows
X server.  I haven't been doing the installation myself, so I may be 
fuzzy on some of the details.

What I am interested in, though, is if anybody has had any success in bringing
Xtroff up under DECwindows and what was involved to do that.

Thanks in advance,
