I recently decided to switch to iso8859/1 fonts in my xterm wiindows.  These
comments might help someone who hasn't done something similar.

Some of this might be Sun specific.

Almost all of the X11R4 fonts that are labeled iso8859/1 aren't - they only
have 127 chars.

You can ftp X/fixed-fixed.bdf.Z from 132.206.1.1 (courtesy der Mouse).
Uncompress and then run bdftosnf on it to create 6x13.snf.
Replace /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/6x13.snf with this new one.
cd to /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc and run mkfontdir.
You should be able to run xterms with

xterm -fn "-Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-SemiCondensed--13-120-75-75-C-60-ISO8859-1"

that will display the iso8859/1 char set.

You can use xfd to look at the character set.

Anyone know of a source for more iso8859/1 fonts?
