     I would like to read a font defined in a BDF file from
DECWindows. I compiled the BDF file using bdf2pcf and created
a pcf file. Then, try to read it by setting font path using
Xlib routine XSetFontPath, but XLoadFont returns with error.

     I must be doing something wrong. There is no documentation 
I could find in "GREY" manuals how to do font compilation under
DECWindows. Same program successfully runs under Ultrex.
I would greatly appreciate any help in getting this to
work. I am running VMS 5.3-1 and DECWindows V2.0.
