I am porting a system that was written in very old version of X.
I have eight fonts in snf format (but not in bdf format) that I need to
use in XV11R4, and Sun OpenWindows.  I seem to remember a program for
converting between different font formats, but I didn't find it in the MIT
distribution, so I don't remember where I can find it; or even if it will
convert the snf format back to bdf or to the format needed by OpenWindows. 

The fonts needed are: 
cmr7.bdf, cnt57.bdf, helv12.bdf, helv12b.bdf, micr25.bdf,
oldeng.bdf, rogue-b.bdf, and rogue-n.bdf.

Obviously, I could do without the helvetica fonts, since these are
available currently, just under a new name.

Could anyone assist by...

1) Pointing the way to a font conversion program that handles bdf, snf and
whatever it is that Open Window uses;

2) Sending these fonts to me in bdf format and/or in the format needed by
Sun's Open Windows.

Please respond directly to   schultz@aic.nrl.navy.mil

Thank you very much.
