Susan Bickford from sun straitened me out.  It appears that I was
missing a step.  Here is her response:

{From: susan.bickford@East.Sun.COM 
{Subject: Re:  convertfont + x3270 Re: Font aliases with OpenWindows?
{
{I don't have x3270 or the font, but I just took a random 14 pt. bdf file,
{named it "3270" in the bdf file itself and called it 3270.bdf and
{then converted it.  Everything seems fine for me, so looking at your
{description more closely, it seems like maybe you skipped bldfamily.
{The process should be:
{
{1.  convertfont
{2.  bldfamily
{3.  xset +fp `pwd` or xset fp rehash
{4.  xlsfonts ...
{
{If you didn't skip bldfamily, you can send me the bdf file
{and I'll see what I can do.  Convertfont is not without its bugs.
{(All fixed in the next release, of course :-)
{

I'd like to thank Susan again for her quick and correct response.
