I recently installed X11R4 ona DECStation 5200 running Ultrix 4.0
Although most of the original DECwindows clients still work, the original
fonts are in .pcf format and do not seem to be recognised by the new server.
I have fixed this in the meantime by aliasing to standard fonts, but I would like
the old fonts back !!  Is there any way to convert PCF to SNF, or is there an
archive of DECwindows SNF fonts ?

The other problem with the new server is that it does not have the Display
PostScript extensions which the original server had.  Is there anywhere I can
get hold of DPS extensions for X11R4 ?

Thanks for any help,
Stewart
