I would simple like to share fonts for both machines, not only to save space, but only to make installation of new fonts easyer in a mixed sun[34] environment. Yes, you can share fonts between sun3 and sun4 . At least it works ok in out installation. I have now idea how 386i works. I don't know why the default installation does not share them (like it shares some other parts). -- This article represents my personal views. NeWS flash: "X is the Fortran of windowing systems."
