Div. 2 Sect. 1, FUJITSU LTD. Lines: 10 One thing that I would like to see in future Xt implementations is a facility for sharing font data between processes. Currently, each copy of kterm opened on the screen appears to require its own copy of the kanji font. Of course, this can be avoided if one patches the client to fork out copies of itself, but it would be preferable to be able to share a memory font between two totally unrelated processes. ----- John B.
