i'm one of the everpresent novices asking the experts for help.

i'm using the clx interface to x, trying to use a modified font.
i modify the font via something called sfonted.  i cannot seem to
get it recognized by list-fonts.  list-font-names, however, does
seem to be able to find it (or rather at least its name).  i've changed
font-path and created something called font.dir in that path to
contain the font file.  i've also tried using something called
font.alias.  (note that these file names may be plural.)  all of
this has been done just by trying to emulate what already exists
but to no avail.  my guess is that the problem lies with the
edited version of the font but i have no idea how i can get around
the problem.  please help if you can.

TiA,

,dave

ps, if there is a forum specifically for clx users, please let
me know.
