Basically, the converted fonts don't behave >exactly like they do under MIT X, it is something to do with their widths. I've noticed an occasional overlapping pair of characters. The only reason I bother with OW at all is because some of my users have to run various tools (Valid, AutoCad, etc..) that still have suntools on the brain. I've found the xnews server to be too quarky to use as our default X environment. The lack of the shape extension is annoying, and the strangeness with colormap cells reserved to NeWS seems to have side effects. When running xnews on my shiny new color SS2, for example, a remote xloadimage will crash the server, although a local one won't. Since we have x11r4 everywhere, and ow2 only in some places, I just trashed ow2's redundant libraries in favor of the MIT ones. -- -- 336996351123355369963511235117*47*8*47*8*7471
