I just got MacX, and am trying to run my ATK-based applications on the Mac
screen.  Surprisingly, they actually run fine, but of course MacX doesn't
have any of the Andrew fonts.  MacX has a tool to compile bdf fonts, but
all I see in the andrew distribution are fdb fonts -- and they look different.
Is there an fdb to bdf tool around, or how would you suggest adding the fonts
to MacX?  Has anyone tried this?

Thanks for any details.
