I have been using a couple of different X window terminals for a few
weeks now and been frustrated at the lack of font support for DECwindow
applications like BOOKREADER in the X11R4 distribution.  I had been
told by the DEC folks a number of times that "We contributed all the DEC
fonts to MIT to be included in X11R4".  While trying to diagnose a
seperate problem, I was talking to a DEC software support person and
he confirmed that "Oops, I guess all the fonts didn't make it on the
X11R4 distribution".  Anyway, he was not in a position to provide the
.snf files for me to compile so I am looking elsewhere for them.

Can anyone send me the *.snf files that DEC uses to support DECwindow
applications?  I cannot find them on my VMS distribution (it has only
the compiled *.DECW$FONT files).

Thanks
